Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday accused the Lok Sabha Speaker of unfair treatment during a debate on the NEET paper leak controversy. Yadav said his party was not allowed to speak on the issue, while the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress were given time to present their views.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Yadav said the controversy is about the future of students, not just politics. He defended the protests held outside the Prime Minister's residence, arguing that they were necessary because the House had not discussed the matter properly.
The NEET, a national medical entrance exam, has been at the centre of controversy after reports of a paper leak. The issue has sparked widespread protests by students and political parties demanding a thorough investigation.
Yadav's remarks came during a heated exchange in Parliament. He alleged that the Speaker was biased against his party and demanded equal opportunity for all parties to speak on matters of public importance. The Samajwadi Party chief insisted that the voices of students and opposition parties must be heard in Parliament on such critical issues.
