"Owe Students More Than Outrage": Dharmendra Pradhan Slams Rahul Gandhi

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, stating that the students of India deserve more than political outrage. Pradhan's comments come amid ongoing tensions regarding alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG medical entrance examination.

Pradhan accused the opposition leader of treating students as "props" in a political campaign rather than offering constructive solutions. He asserted that the government is taking strict action against any discrepancies found in the national testing process to ensure merit is preserved.

The Education Minister further stated that the sanctity of examinations remains a top priority and that high-level committees are looking into potential reforms. He urged political leaders to refrain from spreading misinformation that could cause unnecessary anxiety among candidates.
