NEET exam row: AAP protests in Mumbai, calls it a ‘national shame’
The Mumbai unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday staged a protest in connection with the NEET exam row, calling it a “national shame” and demanding a re-examination, PTI reported.
The protest held in Dadar area of Mumbai was part of the party’s nationwide agitation against alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, he said.
According to PTI, Ruben Mascarenhas, AAP’s working president in Mumbai, said the NEET “scam” is playing with the future of not just 24 lakh medical aspirants but of all Indian youth.
“We demand that the NEET exam be cancelled and a fresh exam be held. There should be an independent court-supervised inquiry and exemplary action should be taken against those involved, especially those who are from the BJP,” Paul Raphael, executive member of AAP Mumbai, was quoted by PTI as saying.
“The NEET scam is a national shame. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan must resign immediately,” Sandeep Katke, vice-president of AAP’s Mumbai unit, told news agency on Wednesday.
