Oppn launches all-out attack on education minister Dharmendra Pradhan

Gandhi n his statement said that the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan does not really understand the "fundamentals of the issue".Akhilesh Yadav,the SP supremo  held that students cannot receive justice as long as Pradhan remains in charge of the education ministry. Both called for the education minister's resignation.

"It is evident to everyone that there is a significant problem with our examination system, affecting not just NEET but all major exams. The minister has blamed everyone but himself. I doubt he even grasps the fundamental issues at play," said Gandhi.

Former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Samajwadi party leader Akhilesh Yadav said, "Students nationwide are protesting, investigations are revealing more, and arrests are being made. My only submission is that students will not receive justice as long as this minister remains in office".

However, he only opened himself up for further mockery when he added, "The NTA has conducted more than 240 exams and there is no evidence of paper leak in the past seven years."

The NEET paper leak issue was raised in Parliament even as the Supreme Court began hearing a batch of petitions related to the controversial medical entrance exam today, 22 July.

During the hearing, the counsel for the NEET-UG aspirants who are petitioning the apex court highlighted that the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the prestigious exam, had admitted to the paper leak and the dissemination of the leaked question paper via WhatsApp.

The Supreme Court bench, which includes Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud and justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, asked counsel for both parties about the results that emerged from the centre-wise and city-wise declarations of exam results too — and thereby hangs another sorry tale that should leave the education minister red in the face.
