CPI (M) Demands Scrapping of NTA Amid NEET Irregularities

The CPI (M) has called for the scrapping of the National Testing Authority (NTA) following claims of irregularities in the NEET medical entrance exam. General Secretary Sitaram Yechury demanded a high-level investigation and criticized the BJP government for jeopardizing students' futures. The issue is under Supreme Court scrutiny.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) demanded the dissolution of the National Testing Authority (NTA) following a controversy over alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance examination. CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury stated that the party would call for a rigorous investigation into the allegations, which have reached the Supreme Court.

Yechury announced that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will face tough questions in Parliament regarding the matter during its first session after the NDA government's third consecutive formation. He emphasized the CPI (M)'s dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) ability to probe the issue.

The Union Education Ministry has already canceled the UGC-NET examination based on suspicions of compromised integrity, handing the investigation over to the CBI. Yechury insisted that Education Minister accountability is crucial, citing that many students' futures are at risk. The CPI (M) aims to escalate these issues both in and out of Parliament.
