"Government Blind To Students' Distress": Rahul Gandhi On NEET Green Light

Last year the NEET was conducted on September 13, despite fervent protests from the opposition and amid strict precautions in view of the pandemic

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday lashed out at the government for being "blind to students' distress" and refusing to postpone the NEET, which is scheduled for September 12. GOI is blind to students' distress.Postpone #NEET exam. Let them have a fair chance. NEET-JEE aspirants' safety should not compromised due to the failures of the Govt.Govt must listen to all stakeholders and arrive at a consensus.#SpeakUpForStudentSafetypic.twitter.com/Y1CwfMhtHf On Monday the Supreme Court dismissed petitions to defer NEET because this year's date clashed with other exams; the court said it did not want to interfere with the examination process and that it would be "very unfair" to the majority of students if it were to reschedule the test. In a short but pithy tweet Mr Gandhi said: "GoI (Government of India) is blind to students' distress. Postpone NEET exam. Let them have a fair chance."
