Rahul Gandhi Protests NEET Paper Leak, Government Offers Parliamentary DiscussionPreviousNext

Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi and Congress leaders staged protests outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence, demanding accountability over the NEET paper leak and police action against student protesters. They called for the resignations of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Home Minister Amit Shah. The government, represented by Minister Jitendra Singh, expressed readiness to discuss the NEET issue in Parliament but accused Rahul Gandhi of shifting demands. Education Minister Pradhan criticized the opposition for politicizing the protests, asserting the government’s commitment to reforms. The protests highlighted divisions within the opposition and intensified political tensions.
