Opposition lawmakers demand Education Minister’s resignation over leaks

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, spearheaded the criticism, labeling the government’s management of the NEET scandal a failure. He insisted that Pradhan must step down and offer a formal apology to the students whose academic futures remain in limbo. The protest underscores a deepening divide, as activists across the country mobilize to demand accountability for systemic failures in the national testing infrastructure.

Simultaneously, the political atmosphere in the capital intensified as National Democratic Alliance members held a counter-protest targeting TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, who was recently suspended for making disparaging remarks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attempted to shift the narrative by pledging to establish fast-track courts specifically designed to prosecute those responsible for examination fraud, emphasizing that the protection of youth interests remains his administration’s priority.
