In a heated political exchange, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Chirag Paswan launched a sharp attack on the Opposition for stalling parliamentary proceedings over the NEET-UG controversy. Paswan accused opposition parties of using disruptive tactics that hinder legislative progress and ultimately harm students and the nation.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Paswan expressed his frustration with the ongoing deadlock in Parliament, where debates on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) have been a focal point of contention. He criticized the Opposition for prioritizing political gains over constructive dialogue and resolution.
“The continuous stalling of Parliament by the Opposition is a disservice to our democracy and our youth,” Paswan stated. “Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions to address the concerns surrounding NEET-UG, they are obstructing the legislative process and creating unnecessary chaos.”
The NEET-UG row has sparked significant controversy, with various political factions clashing over the examination’s fairness, accessibility, and impact on students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The Opposition has been vocal in demanding reforms and greater transparency, leading to frequent disruptions in parliamentary sessions.
Paswan urged opposition leaders to adopt a more collaborative approach, emphasizing the need for dialogue and consensus-building to address the issues at hand. He called for a focus on the welfare of students, who are directly affected by the policies and decisions surrounding NEET-UG.
“Students are watching us, and they deserve better,” Paswan said. “We must rise above partisan politics and work together to find solutions that ensure a fair and equitable education system.”
As the NEET-UG debate continues to unfold, Paswan’s remarks add to the growing discourse on the role of political parties in shaping education policy and the functioning of democratic institutions. The LJP leader’s strong stance highlights the urgency of resolving the impasse and moving forward with legislative work that benefits the nation’s youth.
The ongoing controversy serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in education reform and the critical need for a balanced and inclusive approach that addresses the concerns of all stakeholders.
