The Congress party has demanded a fair investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court into the NEET examination issue. In a social media post, Mr. Kharge alleged rigging, paper leaks and corruption in the NEET examination. He said, after investigation, the culprits should be given the harshest punishment and lakhs of students should be given compensation to save their year from being wasted. He said, the future of 24 lakh students who appeared in the NEET examination is at stake due to the actions of the government. He said, the government cannot escape its responsibility by placing the responsibility of its actions on the shoulders of the National Testing Agency.    

Refuting the allegations of Mr. Kharge, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that no concrete evidence of any kind of rigging, corruption or paper leak has been found so far in the NEET exam. He said that the Central Government has passed the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act this year, which has many strict provisions to prevent paper leaks and to conduct a cheating-free exam. He criticized Congress saying that playing politics on the future of students is an old habit of Congress. He said, the opposition is issueless, on such a sensitive issue the opposition is just spreading lies without knowing the facts.
