The NEET paper leak controversy has taken a political turn as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi vowed to continue protests until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. Addressing a press conference, Gandhi accused the government of failing to safeguard the integrity of the medical entrance exam, which has left thousands of students in distress. He alleged that the leak was a result of corruption and mismanagement within the education system.
Rahul Gandhi's Firm Stand
Rahul Gandhi stated that the Congress party will not back down until justice is served. He called for a thorough investigation into the leak and demanded accountability from the Education Minister. 'We will protest until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. The future of our youth cannot be compromised,' Gandhi asserted.
BJP's Counter-Allegations
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) responded sharply, accusing Gandhi and the Congress of attempting to destabilise the Modi government. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra claimed that the opposition is politicising the issue for electoral gains. 'The government is taking all necessary steps to address the leak, but Congress is only interested in creating chaos,' Patra said.
Student Reactions
Thousands of students who appeared for the NEET exam have expressed outrage over the leak. Many have taken to social media demanding a re-examination and strict action against those responsible. Student unions have also planned nationwide protests in the coming days.
Government's Response
The Ministry of Education has assured that a high-level committee is investigating the matter. Officials have promised stringent action against culprits and are considering measures to prevent future breaches. However, the opposition remains unconvinced, calling for an independent probe.
The NEET paper leak row continues to intensify, with both sides refusing to back down. As the political battle heats up, the focus remains on the students whose careers hang in the balance.
