On Streets, In Parliament: Opposition Plans Twin Attack On Centre Over NEET
NDTV
The Congress is planning nationwide protests on Friday and a march to Parliament on Monday.
As the controversy over the alleged irregularities in the NEET medical exam continues to snowball, the opposition has chalked out a two-pronged strategy to corner the government over the issue. It has decided to hit the streets to demand justice for the students as well as action against those responsible, and will also apply pressure on the government in Parliament.
The protests come against the backdrop of the opposition gaining strength because of its much-improved show in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, in which the BJP could not reach the majority mark and the INDIA bloc clinched 232 seats.
The Congress, which emerged victorious in 99 constituencies, making it the biggest constituent of the INDIA bloc, has decided to hold nationwide protests on Friday and will also march to Parliament on Monday, which will be the first day of the first session of the 18th Lok Sabha. It is also expected to push for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
