NEET Postgraduate Students Express Dissatisfaction with Exam Cancellation After Leak and Demand Changes to Testing System

Amidst the alleged NEET exam leak, the situation has intensified at Jantar Mantar in Delhi's capital. Students took to the streets to voice their protest under the banner of the 'Koroch Chanta Party' (CJP). Among these events, renowned Bollywood actor Anupam Kher released a video message expressing his sincere support for the young protesters.

The Actor's Appeal to Students

In his video message, Anupam Kher began by greeting his dear students. He stated that he was deeply saddened when he saw photos of students protesting at Jantar Mantar a couple of days ago. The actor emphasized that no student in the country should have to go through such difficult circumstances while trying to express their point of view. He recalled his own past, noting that he too was once a student who dreamed, asked questions, and disagreed with the system.

The Significance of Student Movements

Since hundreds of students are still studying at his institution, he deeply understands the anxiety, anger, and hopes of the youth. Continuing his thought, Anupam Kher stated that, in his opinion, the student movement is the most sincere and pure voice of society. He noted that there is no personal gain in this movement, only concern for one's own future, defending rights, and dreaming of building a better country, which is why he sincerely supports the students.

A Warning Against Political Manipulation

Speaking as an elder brother figure, Anupam Kher gave the students important advice. He warned them to be extremely cautious when outsiders, political opportunists, or elements whose goal is not the students' problem but promoting their own agenda interfere in the student movement. Although it may initially seem that the arrival of more people strengthens the movement, often these very people become the biggest weakness of the movement. Such individuals begin to use the students' voices for their own interests, constructing political narratives upon their suffering, resulting in the true essence of the students gradually being lost, and only they themselves bearing the damage.

A Call for Self-Awareness and Safety

Anupam Kher reminded them that in a democracy, the right to ask questions, hold demonstrations, and firmly defend one's position belongs to every student. However, with this comes the responsibility—not to allow anyone to hijack their voice. He concluded that the youth of the country are its greatest asset, and their honesty and energy are their true strength. In closing, he urged the students not to become tools in anyone's hands, but always to speak up boldly, on their own terms, relying on their self-awareness and self-respect.

On Tuesday, demonstrations took place in New York in support of students who are protesting alleged irregularities in the NEET exams. Protesters, including members of the Indian diaspora, gathered near Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Union Square in New York City, holding placards in defense of the students.

Protests in London

Similar solidarity actions also took place in London. There, demonstrators gathered near the Indian High Commission to support the nationwide movement demanding accountability regarding alleged NEET irregularities and reforms in the Indian education system.

Protesters' Demands

Demonstrators, displaying placards and chanting slogans, expressed their support and called for increased transparency, accountability, and reforms in the country's education and examination system.

Vanchuk's Situation

Meanwhile, Vanchuk, who continues his hunger strike, was moved from the protest site at Jantar Mantar to Safdarjung Hospital last week. On Tuesday, he was transferred to Medanta Hospital after the Delhi High Court permitted the transfer.

Support for the Protests

In the meantime, opposition parties have supported Vanchuk's campaign and organized protests in the capital, demanding accountability for the alleged irregularities during the NEET exam.

A widespread wave of protests is currently underway regarding the NEET exam leak incident. Following an activists' march to parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also made a statement on the matter today. At the same time, BJP MP Ravi Kishan is facing heavy criticism on social media for referring to the NEET exam leak as the NEET newspaper leak.

Protests and Government Reaction

Protests against the NEET leak have been ongoing for some time at the Jantar Mantar square, organized by CJP. Consequently, Sonam Wangchuk is on hunger strike. As part of this campaign, CJP and other activists held a march of MPs yesterday, which was accompanied by serious unrest. Some users on social media are not missing an opportunity to criticize the government.

Ravi Kishan's Error

While giving comments to journalists after the parliamentary session, BJP MP Ravi Kishan made a mistake by calling the NEET exam leak incident the NEET newspaper leak. In reality, during yesterday's protests and in the context of the NEET leak, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the youth and students of the country in parliament. He stated that 13 people had already been detained in this matter and emphasized that the culprits must receive the harshest punishment.

Comments After the Session

When the parliamentary session concluded and MPs began leaving the building, BJP MP Ravi Kishan was interviewed. He was asked what Prime Minister Modi had said. Ravi Kishan repeated the Prime Minister's words, adding that the best lawyer should be hired for the 13 detainees to ensure they receive the strictest possible punishment. He stated that this was necessary so that no one would dare to tamper with the future of children or leak the NEET newspaper in the future.

In doing so, Ravi Kishan confused the 'NEET exam leak' with the 'NEET newspaper leak'. He is now being mocked for this error. A video of his statement is circulating on social media. This inaccuracy was made by Ravi Kishan while answering questions at the Mangal Milan parliamentary session.
