Congress President Kharge hits out at PM Modi over NEET-UG exam, says 'future of students at stake'
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday (June 13) hit out at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the alleged discrepancies in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) stating that the future of 2.4 million students who appeared in the medical entrance examination was at stake due to the Modi government's actions.
"Grace marks were not the only problem in the NEET exam. There has been rigging, papers have been leaked, corruption has taken place. The future of 24 lakh students who appeared in the NEET exam is at stake due to the actions of the Modi government. A nexus of Exam Centre and Coaching Centre has been formed, in which the game of 'pay money, take paper' is being played," Kharge said in a post on X.
He further said that the "Modi government cannot escape its responsibility" and calledfor a fair investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court in the matter.
"The Modi government cannot escape its responsibility by putting the responsibility of its actions on the shoulders of NTA. The Congress party demands a fair investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court in the entire NEET scam. After the investigation, the culprits should be given the harshest punishment and lakhs of students should be compensated to save their year from being wasted," he said in the post.
"In the last 10 years, the Modi government has ruined the future of crores of youth through paper leak and rigging," he added.
