In a significant development, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling for a crucial debate in Parliament regarding the ongoing National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) controversy. Gandhi stressed the urgent need for a discussion on the NEET issue, which has been a cause of concern for nearly 24 lakh aspirants across India. He emphasized the impact of paper leaks on millions of students and their families who have invested significant efforts in pursuing their dreams of becoming medical professionals.
Gandhi criticized the government’s handling of the situation, citing inadequate measures such as postponing other exams and replacing the Director General of the National Testing Agency. He pointed out that these actions did not address the core issues affecting the education system. The Congress leader highlighted the need for a thorough parliamentary debate to rebuild trust in the education system and urged Prime Minister Modi to lead this discussion.
With over 70 paper leaks affecting more than 2 crore students in the last seven years, the NEET controversy has raised serious concerns about the integrity of centralized testing systems. Gandhi’s letter to the Prime Minister seeks to prioritize the welfare of NEET aspirants and underscore the necessity of finding solutions to restore faith in the education system. The call for a parliamentary debate signals the Opposition’s commitment to resolving the NEET crisis and holding the government accountable for effective measures.
