NEET Row: Prahlad Joshi Says Government Is Serious On Action

Union Minister Prahlad Joshi defended the Centre's response to the NEET paper leak, saying the government is committed to protecting students' interests. He highlighted that 14 accused have been arrested and pointed to the 2024 anti-paper leak law, which prescribes up to 10 years' imprisonment and a ₹1 crore fine. Responding to the Opposition's demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, Joshi accused the Congress of disrupting Parliament instead of participating in a debate.
