“NEET” Chants Fill Parliament As Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Takes Oath:
At the centre of the political storm surrounding the irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan faced NEET slogans raised by Opposition MPs as he took oath as a member of Lok Sabha, which met today the first time after polls.
Visuals of the House proceedings show Mr Pradhan walking towards the Lok Sabha podium amid chants of “NEET” and “shame” from the Opposition benches.
Protests are being held in various parts of the country after the NEET UG exam results declared on June 4 threw up shocking irregularities. The Centre has now ordered a CBI probe into the matter. Amid the public outcry, several national level competitive examinations have been scrapped or postponed.
