New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi hit out against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the NEET-UG paper leak, saying that he has neither taken responsibility nor sacked Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The Congress MP said in a post on X that the Congress will not stop till Pradhan resigns and a robust system to prevent paper leaks is put in place.
Rahul also took a swipe at the PM, saying that while the prime minister was making reels in Italy, the youth of India were taking to the streets seeking justice over the paper leak.
“When Modi ji was making reels while handing out candies in Italy – youth in India, tormented by paper leaks, were taking to the streets demanding justice,” Rahul said in his post in Hindi.
“Because the NEET Paper Leak has ruined the futures of lakhs of students. Many children have even lost their lives. And Modi ji neither took responsibility, nor removed Dharmendra Pradhan, nor uttered a single word,” the Leader of Opposition said.
“A government that answers students’ questions with batons doesn’t run on accountability – it runs on fear. But we will not be scared. We won’t stop until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns and a strong, secure system is put in place to stop paper leaks in the country,” Rahul said.
Rahul tagged a post from the Rajasthan Congress in which, a purported video shows water cannon being used to disperse protesting students and National Students Union of India (NSUI) workers protesting outside the BJP headquarters in Jaipur.
It was a Congress-organised protest seeking the removal of Pradhan as Education minister over the NEET-UG paper leak.
