Following the paper leak controversy around the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical undergraduates and the cancellation of UGC-NET due to "lack of integrity," Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that the discussion must happen within tradition and decorum. "The government is ready for every kind of discussion, but everything should happen within tradition and decorum. When the President herself spoke about the exam in her speech yesterday, it showed the government's intention that we are ready to face any issue.
.. The government's responsibility is towards the youth of the country, towards the students of the country.
.. The government is ready to put forth its side, then what is the confusion? .
.. We are going to take the strictest action and the CBI is going to catch everyone, we will not spare anyone.
A credible high-level committee has also been formed for reform, soon the date of all those exams will also be announced. I also request the opposition to come out of politics and join the discussion," said Dharmendra Pradhan. "We are not going to spare anyone.
Those who were in charge of NTA have been removed and the responsibility has been given to senior officials. All this is proof of the government's commitment..
. I want to appeal to the opposition that they should not confuse the students..
." he added. The opposition however is adamant on its demand to enforce a discussion on the alleged irregularities in the NEET examination.
