Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of using students as "political tools" to disrupt the Monsoon Session over the NEET-UG row. He said the government was ready for a detailed discussion in Parliament, but the Congress chose protests instead. Pradhan reiterated the Centre's commitment to reforms, accountability and addressing students' concerns.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of using students as "political tools" to create disruption during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, amid the ongoing row over the NEET-UG issue.
In a post on X, Pradhan alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress staged a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence despite the government expressing its willingness to hold a detailed discussion on the issue in Parliament.
"LoP Shri @RahulGandhi and @INCIndia continue to shamelessly exploit students as political tools to manufacture disruption during the Monsoon Session of Parliament," he wrote.
He further claimed that the Congress chose to hold a dharna outside the Prime Minister's residence, causing inconvenience to the public and disregarding established security protocols.
