The Opposition’s demonstration against the alleged NEET exam paper leak intensified in Delhi, with Rahul Gandhi and INDIA bloc MPs staging a symbolic protest at Gandhi Smriti on Tees January Marg. Rahul Gandhi, along with other MPs, held a vigil with mobile flashlights to show solidarity with students affected by the controversy. The gathering aimed to emphasize the Opposition’s criticism of the government’s failure to protect young aspirants’ futures.
Barricades were set up outside Gandhi’s residence as Opposition MPs gathered for a meeting before marching to Gandhi Smriti, less than a kilometer away. Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and lawmakers were transported to the site by buses to join the vigil. The leaders expressed their support for students affected by the NEET paper leak and condemned the violence against those demanding justice and accountability.
The Opposition’s plan to hold the vigil at India Gate was thwarted by police, leading them to proceed to Gandhi Smriti. Despite brief obstruction, the buses carrying the leaders were eventually allowed to continue. Rahul Gandhi affirmed their commitment to standing with the students and holding the government accountable for the alleged leak and ensuing unrest. These protests signal a heightened political confrontation over exam integrity, student safety, and public trust in institutions.
