Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called on NEET aspirants to take to the streets, alleging that the recent paper leak occurred under political patronage. Describing the incident as the 'biggest betrayal' of students, Kejriwal questioned the government's capability to manage the examination system.
Kejriwal's Appeal to Students
In a strongly worded statement, Kejriwal urged students to protest against the leak, which he claimed undermines the integrity of the medical entrance exam. He stated, 'Those who cannot prevent a paper leak, how would they run the government?' The former chief minister emphasized that the leak was not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of negligence.
Allegations of Political Patronage
Kejriwal specifically alleged that the paper leak enjoyed political patronage, suggesting that influential individuals were involved. He called for a thorough investigation to uncover the culprits and ensure justice for affected students. The remarks come amid growing outrage over the leak, which has disrupted the academic plans of thousands of aspirants.
Reactions and Demands
The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the NEET exam, has faced criticism for its handling of the situation. Opposition parties have joined Kejriwal in demanding accountability, with some calling for a parliamentary inquiry. Students and parents have expressed frustration, demanding a re-exam and stricter security measures.
Kejriwal's call to action is likely to intensify pressure on the government to address the issue promptly. As protests loom, the spotlight remains on the NTA's ability to restore confidence in the examination process.
