Opposition Slams Government Over NEET and UGC-NET Controversies

Opposition leaders criticized the government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) for alleged irregularities in the NEET and UGC-NET exams, labeling them as threats to students' futures. They called for the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the dissolution of the NTA, citing paper leaks and exam frauds.

Opposition leaders on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the government and the National Testing Agency over alleged irregularities in the NEET exam and the cancellation of UGC-NET, accusing them of jeopardizing students' futures.

Various opposition figures demanded the dismissal of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the disbanding of the National Testing Agency (NTA). They cited paper leaks as 'anti-national activities' that endanger the future of students. Leading the charge, Rahul Gandhi claimed that educational institutions have been 'captured' by the BJP and its parent organization RSS, suggesting that only these 'captures' can prevent further paper leaks.

The opposition’s anger intensified following the UGC's cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, citing cybersecurity concerns. Amid these criticisms, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan assured that isolated malpractice incidents should not overshadow the rightful success of thousands of students who cleared the exams.
