Ready for detailed discussion on NEET leak, street protests won’t help: Govt to oppn
NEW DELHI, July 22 (PTI): Amid the opposition offensive over the NEET paper leak issue, the government on Wednesday said it was willing to hold a detailed discussion in the Lok Sabha on the matter while making it clear that street protests won’t yield any results.
As soon as the Lok Sabha reassembled at noon after an earlier adjournment, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to make a statement but Congress leader K C Venugopal intervened to assert that the Opposition is also seeking the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
“Our demand is simple. When the entire nation is feeling the pain of our students – all other business of the House should be set aside and this burning issue should be top priority for Parliament,” Venugopal said.
