Congress Running Away From Discussion: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan On NEET Row
NDTV
Without naming anyone, Mr Pradhan said such irregularities took place before 2014 as well.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday slammed the Congress, saying it wants to run away from a discussion in Parliament over the NEET exam issue.
His remark came a day after Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a "respectful" and good discussion in Parliament on the issue of alleged irregularities in the conduct of the NEET exam.
Replying to a question on the opposition targeting the BJP-led Centre over the NEET exam issue, Mr Pradhan said, "The Congress does not want a discussion. It wants to run away from the discussion. Its only intention is to create chaos, confusion and create obstacles in the smooth functioning of the entire institutional mechanism." He said the President had also talked about the NEET exam issue, being raised by the Congress, in her address in Parliament.
