National Conference leader Omar Abdullah criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday for failing to address the ongoing NEET scandal, choosing instead to attack the opposition on the first day of the Parliament session.

Abdullah stated that while it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister to criticize the opposition, it would have been more appropriate for him to speak about the NEET controversy affecting many young students across India.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti joined the call for Parliamentarians to rise above party lines and address the NEET issue. She expressed concerns about the future of thousands of students who might see their hard work wasted due to these irregularities.

The CBI recently filed an FIR related to alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam, prompting calls for more comprehensive investigations. Abdullah also called for a broader amnesty for individuals detained after August 5, 2019, and the release of MP-elect Sheikh Abdul Rashid.
