Chirag Paswan Defends Government Handling of NEET, Criticizes Opposition

Union Minister Chirag Paswan has defended the government’s approach towards the NEET paper leak controversy, asserting that all stakeholders are being consulted, and decisions will be made in the best interests of students at an appropriate time.

Speaking to reporters in Patna on Saturday, Paswan addressed concerns surrounding the NEET examination, which has been marred by allegations of paper leaks. He emphasized that the government is actively engaging with relevant agencies and stakeholders while the matter is also sub judice.

“The NEET case is under investigation by concerned agencies, and it is also before a court of law. Meanwhile, the government is in communication with all stakeholders. A decision will be made at the right moment, ensuring it benefits the students,” Paswan stated.

Paswan also criticized the opposition parties for disrupting the proceedings of Parliament over the NEET issue, labeling their actions as reflective of a “flawed mindset.”

“The opposition’s insistence on stalling Parliament’s functioning over this issue shows a flawed mindset. Such behavior undermines the sanctity of parliamentary processes,” he added.

Paswan’s remarks come amid heightened public scrutiny and demands for swift action to address the alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET.

As the investigation progresses and legal proceedings unfold, stakeholders, including students and educational institutions, await further developments and decisions from authorities to ensure fairness and credibility in the examination system.

The government’s assurance of a thorough investigation and consultations with all concerned parties underscores its commitment to upholding the integrity of educational assessments while addressing the concerns of students and the broader public.

The situation surrounding the NEET paper leak continues to evolve, with stakeholders closely monitoring developments and awaiting decisive actions from authorities to restore confidence in the examination process.
