Rahul Gandhi Raises Questions Over Government Silence
In a post shared on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi accused the government of remaining silent despite concerns surrounding the examination controversy.
“Twenty-two lakh NEET students have been betrayed, but Prime Minister Modi has not spoken a single word. Remove Dharmendra Pradhan immediately, or take responsibility yourself,” Gandhi wrote.
He further demanded the immediate dismissal of the Union Education Minister, alleging that students and families deserved answers and accountability.
NEET के 22 लाख बच्चों के साथ धोखा हुआ है। पर मोदी जी एक शब्द भी नहीं बोल रहे।
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी को अभी हटाइए, या जवाबदेही ख़ुद लीजिए।
Modi ji, SACK Dharmendra Pradhan ji NOW. pic.twitter.com/6FRMMa8AI8
