Congress Calls for Probe into NEET-UG Paper Leak Scandal

The Congress party called for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign following the cancellation of the NEET-UG exam due to a paper leak scandal. They also demanded a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the issue.

Congress youth and student wings highlighted the gravity of the scandal at a press conference, emphasizing that 89 papers have been leaked over the past decade, reflecting a systemic failure by the government to maintain accountability.

Allegations have been raised against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with questions directed at the National Testing Agency's audit processes. Congress demands immediate solutions, including a JPC investigation and student compensations, as the NEET exam's cancellation affected many across India and abroad.
