Congress sharpens attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over NEET-UG paper leak issue
NEW DELHI
Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over the NEET-UG paper leak controversy, accusing the BJP and the RSS of hijacking the country’s educational institutions.
Asserting that “apart from taking action after the paper leak, it is also very important to re-design the system to prevent paper leak”, Gandhi added, “The Opposition will try to get these two things done by putting pressure on the government.”
Taking a jibe at Modi, Rahul said, “There were claims that Narendra Modi managed to stop the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Yet, for some reason, Narendra Modi cannot prevent paper leaks in the country.”
The Congress has planned a nationwide protest on the paper leak issue on 21 June. Gandhi said he would also raise the issue in Parliament when the session begins on 24 June.
A paper leak, Rahul emphasised, is an “anti-national activity” as it “severely harms the country’s youth, who are the nation’s future”.
Highlighting the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, Gandhi, who previously labelled BJP-ruled states as the “epicentre of paper leaks”, claimed this issue is now spreading nationwide.
Rahul asserted that students are suffering because the government is not committed to stopping paper leaks, and that PM Modi has “psychologically collapsed”.
