NEET Protests Expand as Celebrities Call for Dialogue

Indian cricket legend Yuvraj Singh posted a compassionate message urging peace, safety, and equal educational opportunities for children and citizens amid ongoing NEET-UG protests over alleged paper leaks. The demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, led by the Cockroach Janata Party, have intensified calls for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a thorough probe into exam irregularities, prompting a large‑scale ‘Sansad Chalo’ march that drew police intervention. The protest movement has seen repeated adjournments in Parliament as opposition and government factions clash over debate rules and accountability. Delhi Police have registered multiple FIRs related to the protests, while the Delhi High Court has issued notices to the Centre and police, ordering preservation of CCTV and other records amid allegations of excessive force. Public figures including Rajkummar Rao have joined Singh in urging peaceful resolution and dialogue to ensure safe learning environments for students. The broader dispute continues to disrupt legislative proceedings and intensify scrutiny of NEET-UG administration and policing responses.
