ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN NEET-UG EXAMINATION
Amid the ongoing NEET medical entrance exam row, the Opposition has sharpened its attack against the Modi government with the Congress slamming the government over the bureaucratic reshuffle in the National Testing Agency (NTA) after alleged irregularities in NEET-UG, saying the buck stops at the doorstep of the top echelons of the regime. The Congress was joined by the DMK, NCP(Sharatchandra Pawar) and AIMIM in demanding justice for the millions of students.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday alleged that the NTA was projected to be an autonomous body, but in reality was made to serve the “devious interests” of the BJP/RSS.
“In the NEET Scam, the buck stops at the doorstep of the top echelons of the Modi Government. Shuffling the bureaucrats is no solution to the endemic problem in the Education system rotted by the BJP,” he said in a post on X. For students to get justice, Modi government must be held accountable, he said.
The Centre on Saturday had shunted out NTA’s Director General Subodh Singh and handed over the probe into the irregularities in medical entrance exam NEET-UG to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The Education Ministry has also set up a seven-member panel headed by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan to review the agency’s functioning and recommend exam reforms. It also postponed the NEET-PG entrance, the fourth entrance exam to be impacted in recent days. Kharge said the NEET-PG Exam has been postponed and in all four examinations have been either cancelled or postponed in the past 10 days. “Paper Leaks, Corruption, Irregularities and Education Mafia has infiltrated our Education system,” he alleged.
“This belated whitewashing exercise is of no consequence as countless youth continue to suffer,” Kharge said.
