NEET paper leak protest

As the uproar against the paper leak in the NEET (National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test) exams has sparked nationwide outrage, Congress workers staged a massive protest outside the Gujarat University in Ahmedabad today.

Several Congress workers were detained by the police during this protest.

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) also organised a sit-in demonstration in Vadodara. During this, activists held a chakka jam (roadblock) with banners and posters.

Similar protests were also carried out at Delhi University in the national capital.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was slated to visit the DU campus today to address the ongoing protests. However, he cancelled his visit over the public outcry.

Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajai Rai, who staged a protest in Lucknow, was also arrested today.

Notably, Rai contested against PM Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha elections from Varanasi and was ahead in the first half of the counting.

A day before, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also addressed the media over the NEET results discrepancies and cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, calling for action against people responsible.
