In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav speaks on the ongoing NEET protest, the Parliament stalemate, and the growing anger among students and young aspirants.
Akhilesh Yadav says the government has already acknowledged the paper leak by conducting a re-exam and argues that accountability must begin with the Education Minister's resignation. He also raises questions over the alleged police action against student protesters and calls for a discussion in Parliament on the treatment meted out to young demonstrators.
The Cockroach Janata Party's protest against the alleged NEET paper leaks has received support from several prominent voices in the Indian film industry. Actors including Salman Khan, Shabana Azmi, Sonu Sood, Dia Mirza, Prakash Raj, Swara Bhasker, Diljit Dosanjh, Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh have either visited the protest site or publicly expressed solidarity with the students. While some called for peaceful dialogue and accountability, others urged authorities to listen to students' concerns with empathy and uphold their democratic right to protest. As the agitation at Delhi's Jantar Mantar continues, celebrity support has added further attention to the movement demanding action over the alleged NEET paper leaks.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is the latest film personality to back the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest in the capital. In an emphatic Instagram post, Salman Khan on Wednesday praised the students for participating in the protest "peacefully" and called them "courageous and brave". Sharing an old grainy picture of himself from his school days, the 60-year-old actor said "paper leak is a very serious issue".
The NEET paper leak controversy dominated Parliament as the government and the Opposition clashed over student protests and demands for accountability. Union Minister JP Nadda said the Centre is ready for a discussion on the issue, while Rahul Gandhi renewed his demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, alleging that India's education system has become "rigged."
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has reacted to the ongoing NEET student protest, calling paper leaks a serious issue and expressing support for the students' peaceful movement. In a heartfelt statement, Salman urged political parties not to hijack the protest, saying the credit belongs to the students and that their voices should remain at the centre of the movement.
In this exclusive NDTV ground report, injured NEET protesters share their accounts after the Delhi clashes, alleging excessive use of force by security personnel.
