Oppn hell-bent on raising NEET in House today

The Opposition has decided to raise the NEET examination irregularities in Parliament on Friday.

The idea is to corner the government, even though the day is dedicated to a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to President's address to Parliament.

The Opposition decision to raise the NEET matter before any other issue is raised was taken at a meeting at Congress President Malikarjun Kharge's residence in the backdrop of the simmering public anger.

The meeting was attended by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leaders Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule, DMK leader Kanimozhi, Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Sanjay Raut, Priyanka Chaturvedi and Arvind Sawant, AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Sandeep Pathak and others.

"On Friday, we are going to insist on a discussion on the NEET issue. It's time the government responds. We will participate in Vote of Thanks to the President's address from Monday," said Left Leader Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya. Rahul Gandhi feels that BJP states have become an epicentre of paper leaks. He referred to MP in this context.
