NEET Aspirant Challenges Protest Narrative: 'Who Will Talk About Reservation?'

In a candid conversation with NDTV, NEET aspirant Harsh Dubey questioned whether the ongoing protests over the NEET paper leak will lead to meaningful reforms.

While acknowledging students' anger, Harsh argued that the debate has become narrowly focused on the paper leak while overlooking long-standing concerns faced by medical aspirants. He raised questions about reservation policies, state-wise seat allocation, and the challenges faced by students from the general category, saying these issues deserve equal attention.

Recalling his own experience, Harsh said peaceful student protests in the past received little response and alleged that genuine aspirants often go unheard. He urged policymakers and political leaders to address structural issues in medical admissions instead of limiting the discussion to the current controversy.
