BJD MP Sasmit Patra and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut Speak on NEET Issue in Parliament
After the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day over the NEET issue, BJD MP Dr. Sasmit Patra said that the demand for discussion on NEET was rightfully raised by the Members of Parliament but was unfortunately not allowed in either house. He mentioned that the Lok Sabha will reconvene on Monday.
BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut criticized the opposition’s conduct, stating that their behavior was inappropriate and that they were not willing to listen to anyone. She expressed disappointment over the situation.
The Lok Sabha was adjourned until July 1 due to the ruckus in the House amid the opposition’s demand for discussion on the NEET issue.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a criminal case on June 23 over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 5, 2024. The exam was held at 4,750 centers in 571 cities, including 14 cities abroad, with over 23 lakh candidates appearing. An unprecedented 67 candidates achieved perfect scores, leading to widespread protests.
The Ministry of Education has formed a high-level committee of experts to recommend reforms in the examination process, improvements in data security protocols, and the functioning of the NTA.
