'Ghor paap': PM Modi on NEET paper leak; vows strict action against culprits - The Times of India

### PM Modi Vows Strict Action Against NEET Paper Leak Culprits

In a stern statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday condemned the alleged NEET paper leak, terming it a 'ghor paap' or a heinous crime. His remarks come amid an ongoing furore over the leak, which has led to widespread protests, with many students demanding a transparent probe into the matter. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is a crucial medical entrance exam in the country, and the leak has left thousands of students anxious about their future.

The NEET paper leak has sparked protests across the nation, with students from various states, including Tamil Nadu, demanding action against those responsible for the leak. Opposition parties have also jumped into the fray, with some questioning the government's handling of the entire situation. The DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu has been particularly vocal, with many leaders calling for a comprehensive probe and action against the culprits. The situation has led to a sharp deterioration in the relations between the ruling NDA government and the opposition parties.

The government, however, claims that it is committed to taking action against those responsible for the NEET paper leak. Government sources have stated that the doors are still open for dialogue with the protesting students, emphasizing that the government is willing to engage in a constructive conversation to address their concerns. Meanwhile, the ruling NDA has also been stressing on its achievements in the education sector, in a clear attempt to deflect criticism and show its efforts in the field.
