Rahul Gandhi leads NEET protest

Rahul Gandhi led a candlelight march in Shimla to protest the NEET exam paper leak.

He was joined by Congress leaders, party workers, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and the public.

The protest demanded justice and transparency for students affected by the leak.

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu criticized the central government and administered the oath of the Preamble to the Constitution to the gathering.

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, accepting the demands and calling off the agitation.

Sukhu also recalled past exam leaks under the previous BJP government in Himachal Pradesh and mentioned the actions taken by the current Congress government to address those issues.
