Hema Malini Calls for Dialogue as NEET-UG Protests Intensify

The government position remains that existing educational initiatives are sufficient, dismissing the ongoing demonstrations as counterproductive. Inside the chamber, the atmosphere is equally tense. Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda directly challenged Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, characterizing the recurring leaks as evidence of institutional fraud and a crumbling trust in the national examination infrastructure.

Outside, the friction has escalated beyond political rhetoric. Protests at Jantar Mantar aimed at highlighting the influence of organized paper-leak syndicates resulted in significant traffic gridlock. Law enforcement officials eventually deployed a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd, citing a lack of authorization for the gathering. With both sides entrenched, the divide between the administration’s call for order and the students' demand for reform continues to widen.
