The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday demanded a high court-monitored SIT probe into alleged irregularities in NEET-UG. The AAP said it is a serious matter related to the future of the country’s youth. During a press conference, AAP leader Jasmine Shah criticised the BJP, saying most of the allegations pointing to a major scam in the exam have come from states ruled by the saffron party.
He said the first reports of paper leak came from Bihar and Gujarat. Then it was revealed that six of the 67 toppers were from a single centre in Jhajjar, Haryana. The results of the medical entrance exam National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) were declared by the National Testing Agency on Tuesday. “The National Testing Agency is silent on the question of paper leak and its scope, which could be widespread. Then, the grace marks given to some students are also incomprehensible and there is no transparency in it,” Shah alleged.
He said that the Aam Aadmi Party stands fully with the youth of the country in this matter as it is related to the future of lakhs of students. He said, “We demand a Supreme Court-monitored SIT probe into all the irregularities so that the truth can come out.” The National Testing Agency announced on Saturday that the Union Education Ministry has formed a four-member panel to review the grace marks given to over 1,500 candidates in the exam.
