Education Minister Criticizes Congress NEET Protests

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan criticized Rahul Gandhi and the Indian National Congress for organizing a dharna outside the Prime Minister's residence to protest the conduct of the NEET medical entrance examination. Pradhan alleged that the opposition is prioritizing a "political spectacle" over democratic discussion and using students as political tools to create disruption during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

The government maintains that genuine concerns regarding the examination should be addressed through established parliamentary processes rather than public protests that disregard security protocols. Pradhan asserted that the government remains ready for a comprehensive parliamentary debate to provide students with certainty, solutions, and accountability.
