Students Protest Against NEET Paper Leak
Students and NEET aspirants in Himachal Pradesh are protesting against the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
They are upset because there has been a leak in the NEET exam papers, which has caused a lot of trouble for students.
The protesters say the government is not doing enough to help students and is not taking responsibility for the problems.
They also mentioned that many government jobs are empty, but no one is being hired, and there are many scams happening.
They want the minister to step down and for the government to fix these issues.
Students and NEET aspirants protested in Shimla, Kinnaur, and Lahaul-Spiti demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Protesters gathered at Children’s Park and denounced the minister with slogans.
CITU also staged a protest in Solan, with hundreds of youths and city residents participating.
