Jind, May 20
The Congress party on Wednesday staged a massive protest in Jind against the NEET examination paper leak case, rising inflation, and the continuous increase in petrol and diesel prices. The protest was organized under the leadership of Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee President Rao Narendra Singh and witnessed the participation of a large number of Congress workers and local residents.
During the protest, Congress leaders and workers raised slogans against the Central Government, stating that the country’s youth are deeply disappointed due to repeated incidents of examination paper leaks.
Addressing the gathering, Singh said that the leakage of the NEET examination paper, one of the country’s most important competitive examinations, is an extremely serious and unfortunate incident. He stated that the episode has severely impacted the hard work, trust, and future of nearly 2.2 million students and their families. Lakhs of students are facing mental stress and depression, and reports of two students allegedly dying by suicide after being affected by the incident are extremely painful and alarming.
Singh further said that this is not the first time such incidents have occurred in major examinations. Similar irregularities have surfaced in several competitive exams over the past few years, clearly indicating the existence of an organized paper leak mafia that is playing with the future of the youth. He demanded strict and exemplary action against those responsible so that the confidence of the country’s youth can be restored.
Senior Congress leader Chaudhary Birender Singh, while addressing the gathering, said that the common people are suffering badly due to inflation. The continuous rise in the prices of LPG, petrol, and diesel has disturbed household budgets across the country. He stated that the BJP government has failed on every front. According to him, the government has been unable to protect the future of the youth and has also failed to control inflation. He added that the Congress party is continuously fighting for public issues and stands strongly with the people in every difficult situation.
