PANJIM: Congress and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) held a protest against the alleged irregularities and corruption in the conduct of National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 2024 at Azad Maidan here on Friday.
Addressing the gathering, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao said, “When Sita was kidnapped by Ravan, Lord Ram sent Hanuman to Lanka. There, the Rakshas of Ravan captured Hanuman and set his long tail on fire. The result of this misadventure was that entire Lanka was burnt by Hanuman and Sita was rescued from the clutches of Ravan. The student community is like the tail of Lord Hanuman. Students have come together with the power of Lord Hanuman to defeat Ravan Rajya of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government.”
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) President Amit Patkar condemned the BJP government for its inaction on the alleged NEET scam. He demanded that the NEET be re-conducted for all students. South Goa Member of Parliament Capt Viriato Fernandes assured the students that the Congress party will raise the issue in the Parliament.
“Rahul Gandhi has already met the representatives of the students and extended his full support to them,” he said. NSUI State President Naushad Chowdhari said that the Union will ‘gherao’ the Parliament on June 24, if the government fails to scrap the NEET.
