Amid a deepening row over the conduct of competitive examinations, Congress has once again sharpened its attack on the government. The party alleges that the NEET paper leak, along with irregularities in several other exams, has put the years of hard work and the future of lakhs of students at stake. In plain terms, Congress has described the situation as a clear injustice and a betrayal of the trust students place in the system.
What the Row Is About
According to Congress, repeated flaws surfacing in the examination process are being paid for directly by young aspirants. The paper leak in a high-stakes test like NEET, the party says, shattered the dreams of countless candidates who had reached that stage after years of preparation. The party insists this is not confined to a single exam but is part of a pattern of malpractice across multiple examinations, raising serious questions over the entire system.
Torch March in Ahmedabad
The anger over this alleged betrayal spilled onto the streets of Ahmedabad, where young workers made their displeasure plain. Led by IYC president Uday Bhanu, the youth carried out a torch march and raised their voice in defence of students' rights. Holding torches aloft, the demonstrators sought to send a message that the country's youth will no longer stay silent over irregularities in examinations.
During the march, the young workers stood united in demanding accountability from the government and made a forceful appeal for transparency in the examination process. The party presented the protest as a direct warning against the injustice meted out to students.
Public Reaction
The issue drew a mixed response on social media. While some users rallied behind the students and went so far as to demand the resignation of the minister held responsible, others raised pointed questions about the role of political parties and the awareness of the youth themselves.
