Government Offers Parliamentary Discussion on NEET Paper Leak Amid Opposition Demands

Government Offers Parliamentary Discussion on NEET Paper Leak Amid Opposition DemandsPreviousNext

The Indian government, led by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, has expressed readiness to discuss the NEET paper leak issue in Parliament, urging all parties to agree on rules, timing, and duration. Opposition leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav and Congress MP K.C. Venugopal, demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, citing alleged examination irregularities and police action against student protesters. Despite repeated disruptions and protests inside and outside Parliament, the government emphasizes parliamentary debate over street protests, while the Opposition insists on accountability before discussions proceed.
