Government Sends Minister for Talks
Following the talks, Jitendra Singh stated that the government had agreed to discuss the NEET-related issue in Parliament. However, he alleged that Rahul Gandhi later expanded his demands, leading to a deadlock in the negotiations. Congress leaders maintained that stronger action and greater accountability were necessary.
The protest witnessed a heavy deployment of Delhi Police and security personnel around the Prime Minister’s residence. Reports indicated that several Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, were later detained while attempting to continue the demonstration. Congress accused the authorities of suppressing democratic protests, while the government defended the security measures taken during the event.
The incident has intensified the political confrontation between the ruling BJP and the Congress. The Opposition has vowed to continue raising issues related to students and governance, while the government has reiterated its willingness to engage in parliamentary discussion on the matter.
