All-India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary and Himachal Congress in-charge Vidit Chaudhary on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Centre over the alleged NEET paper leak, calling it a serious failure of the country’s education system. Addressing a press conference in Mandi, Chaudhary claimed that repeated examination paper leaks over the past decade have exposed systemic flaws in the examination process and eroded students’ trust.
Demand for Resignation
Chaudhary demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on moral grounds. He asserted that the government's inability to secure the examination process has caused immense distress among students and parents. The Congress leader accused the ruling party of failing to protect the integrity of competitive exams.
Systemic Flaws Highlighted
According to Chaudhary, the NEET paper leak is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of repeated leaks over the last ten years. He stated that these incidents have severely undermined the credibility of the examination system. The AICC secretary emphasized that students who work hard for years are being let down by administrative negligence.
Chaudhary also called for a thorough investigation into the leak and demanded strict action against those responsible. He questioned the government's commitment to educational reform, given the recurring nature of such scandals.
Impact on Students
The alleged leak has sparked widespread protests among students, who fear their efforts may be in vain. Many have taken to social media to express their anger and demand accountability. Chaudhary urged the government to address the issue promptly and ensure a fair process for all candidates.
The Congress party has vowed to raise the matter in Parliament and continue pressuring the government until action is taken. Chaudhary's remarks in Mandi are part of a broader campaign by the opposition to hold the education minister accountable for the alleged failure.
