New Delhi: With the NEET-UG paper leak case turning into a major controversy, the student wing of Congress – NSUI (National Students’ Union of India) on Thursday staged protests outside the residence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in Delhi over the issue.

The students raised slogans against the Union Minister and demanded justice for the students who appeared for the NEET-UG and UGC-NET exams. They carried a bag of money and tossed them in the air demonstrating the anger of the students.


The protesters were soon detained by the Delhi Police.

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi came down heavily on the BJP-led Central government, saying that the Opposition will raise this issue in the upcoming session of the Parliament.
Addressing a press conference here, the Congress MP mentioned that during his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ from Manipur to Maharashtra, hundreds of youth brought up the issue of paper leaks.

Rahul Gandhi further pointed out that institutions in the country are “no longer impartial and have become associated with a single ideology”, as he criticized the Centre for exonerating the National Testing Agency (NTA), responsible for conducting NEET-UG.

About 24 lakh aspirants appeared for NEET on May 5 for admission to medical colleges. The results were announced before time on June 5 but were marred by allegations of paper leak and awarding of grace marks to over 1,500 candidates.
