Leaders and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest in Mysuru on Friday, accusing the Congress of politicising the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and instigating students for political gains.

A large number of BJP workers gathered at Ramaswamy Circle, holding placards against the Congress and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the party was creating unrest in the country over the NEET-UG issue.

Addressing the protesters, former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha said Prime Minister Narendra Modi acted swiftly after reports of the alleged paper leak surfaced by cancelling the examination and ordering a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. He claimed that those involved in the alleged leak had been identified and action initiated, but accused the Congress and other vested interests of continuing to exploit the issue for political purposes.

The protesters also raised slogans against the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which is leading a student movement in Delhi.

City BJP president L. Nagendra and other party office-bearers participated in the demonstration.

The protest in Mysuru is part of the Statewide protest planned by the BJP against the Congress party, which too is staging demonstrations across the State and the country on the issue.

New Delhi:

Opposition members on Monday demanded a separate one-day discussion on the NEET paper leak issue in the Lok Sabha and staged a walkout after they sought a clear assurance from the government on the issue.

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of irregularities in NEET soon after the Lok Sabha assembled for the day, prompting Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to assert that a separate discussion cannot be held till the House finishes with the motion of thanks on the president’s address.

“We wanted a one day discussion on NEET. It is an important issue. More than two crore students have been affected. Paper leaks have happened on 70 occasions. We would be happy if you allow a separate discussion on the issue,” Mr Gandhi said.

Mr Singh, deputy leader of the Lok Sabha, said the House has certain rules and procedures and also on healthy tradition, which are a strength of this House.

“In my decades-long tenure as a parliamentarian, never has any other issue been taken up during the motion of thanks on the president’s address. Other issues can be raised after passing the motion of thanks,” Mr Singh said.

Seizing on his comments, Mr Gandhi and other opposition leaders insisted that the House discuss the issue after the debate on the motion of thanks and sought a specific assurance from the government.

“We can send a message from Parliament to the students that the issue of NEET is very important for us,” Mr Gandhi said.

Speaker Om Birla said there was no convention of taking up any other discussion during the debate on the motion of thanks and members can give a separate notice for the discussion on NEET.

Opposition members were on their feet as the speaker called on BJP member Anurag Thakur to initiate the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address.

Opposition members continued to insist on a categorical assurance from the government on having a separate discussion on NEET and staged a walkout.
