NEET paper leak row: Cong asks PCCs to protest in state capitals against 'irrregularities'

Congress' central leadership has directed Pradesh Congress Committees to stage protests on Friday in state capitals against the discrepancies in NEET-UG and over the Centre's "inaction".

"Against this massive corruption and irregularities in the NEET examination and the desperate inaction and silence of the NDA government, all Pradesh Congress Committees are requested to hold massive protests at their state headquarters on Friday, 21 June 2024, demanding justice for students. This demonstration should involve senior leaders and party functionaries," according to a circular issued by AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal to AICC and PCC leaders.

Meanwhile, Congress' students wing, NSUI, demanded scrapping of NEET and its activists will "gherao Parliament" on the opening day of the session, its president Varun Choudhary said.
