Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Government, Leads Protest Over NEET Paper Leak

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led a protest outside the Prime Minister's residence on Tuesday, accusing the government of avoiding a proper debate in Parliament over the NEET paper leak issue. Addressing students, Gandhi questioned the government's commitment to fixing the education system and demanded a discussion in the Lok Sabha. Gandhi said that the government had no interest in having a meaningful debate on the matter. He criticized the rising costs of examinations and the collapse of the Indian education system. The Congress party held the protest to draw attention to what they see as a failure of the government to address the concerns of students. The NEET paper leak has sparked widespread criticism, with opposition parties demanding a thorough investigation and stricter measures to prevent such incidents. Gandhi asserted that the opposition stands with students and will continue to push for reforms and justice. The Prime Minister's office has not yet responded to the protest. The Lok Sabha has been adjourned amid the ongoing deadlock over the issue.
