Anti-NEET agitations in Coimbatore extend solidarity to Jantar Mantar protest
Protests against the NEET examination paper leak have spread to Coimbatore, with various student and political organizations demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister. Demonstrators are showing solidarity with ongoing protests in New Delhi.
Why it matters
The widespread nature of these protests underscores significant public dissatisfaction with the management of national-level entrance examinations in India.
Multiple agitations held in Coimbatore on Thursday extended solidarity to the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi against NEET question paper leak, and demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and the Students Federation of India (SFI) took out a march from VKK Menon Road to Gandhipuram in the evening, condemning the Union government over the NEET paper leak and police excess on students’ protest at Jantar Mantar. They wanted the resignation of Mr. Pradhan.
