Congress Protests NEET-UG 2024 Irregularities in Arunachal Pradesh

The Arunachal Pradesh unit of Congress protested over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam. Led by APYC president Tarh Johny, the protestors demanded action against those responsible. Johny accused the BJP-led NDA government of failing to address issues in the education sector. The party calls for the ban of the National Testing Agency and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The Arunachal Pradesh unit of Congress staged a demonstration on Friday, highlighting alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 examination.

Congress workers, led by Arunachal Pradesh Youth Congress (APYC) president Tarh Johny, gathered outside Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, demanding accountability for the reported issues.

Addressing the media, Johny criticized the BJP-led NDA government, claiming that the nation has faced recurring issues in the education sector under its tenure. Technical glitches, malpractices, and unfair practices have tainted the examination process, particularly in states like Bihar, Gujarat, and Haryana. The President had approved the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act in February to prevent such issues, but effective implementation remains absent, Johny stated.

He emphasized Congress's commitment to youth welfare and called for the National Testing Agency's ban, the NEET exam's cancellation, and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation on ethical grounds.
