NEET Controversy Sparks Nationwide Protests

Protests over the NEET examination, allegations of a question paper leak, and concerns raised by students have continued across the country. Environmentalist and social activist Sonam Wangchuk, who launched a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, was reportedly shifted to a hospital after his health deteriorated. Student organisations and protesters have demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, while tensions were reported during protest marches in the national capital.

Opposition leaders also intensified their criticism of the Central Government, urging greater transparency in the conduct of competitive examinations and strict action against those responsible if any irregularities are established. Reports also indicated that Union ministers met Sonam Wangchuk at the hospital. The developments have kept the NEET controversy and student protests at the centre of national attention.
