“Paper Leaks Should Not Be Politicised”: Union Health Minister JP Nadda Offers Detailed Debate in Parliament

Mumbai: Union Health Minister and Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, JP Nadda, has firmly stated that the issue of paper leaks must not be politicised, describing it as a national concern requiring deep, constructive debate. Speaking at a press conference, Nadda affirmed that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is both “responsible and responsive” and stands fully prepared to discuss every dimension of the NEET-UG paper leak controversy on the floor of Parliament.

Urging political parties to transcend blame and counter-allegations, Nadda stressed that Parliament offers the ideal venue to examine the root causes of recurring examination irregularities, assess the Central Government’s response, and formulate lasting solutions to safeguard the futures of millions of students.

JP Nadda Advocates Parliamentary Consensus Over Political Rhetoric

Emphasizing the government’s intent to address student grievances, Nadda called for an objective investigation into claims surrounding recurring paper leaks.

• Focus on Structural Solutions: Nadda questioned the factors enabling paper leaks, calling for collective introspection on how governments across India should handle systemic flaws.
• In-Depth Investigation: Addressing claims made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding over 150 paper leaks, Nadda assured that a responsible government will thoroughly investigate the matter and present the facts to the public.
• Rejecting Political Advantage: Nadda warned against seeking short-term political gains from an issue that directly impacts student welfare and the integrity of competitive exams.

“The demand of the students, the issue they have raised regarding paper leaks… First of all, I urge that we should not politicize this issue and it is not appropriate to seek political advantage from it. This is a serious problem and requires in-depth discussion.” — JP Nadda, Union Health Minister

Rahul Gandhi Demands Education Minister’s Resignation and Police Accountability

Nadda’s statement followed a fiery press conference by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who mounted a direct attack on the Central Government and demanded the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Gandhi asserted that the current leadership has failed to protect the national education ecosystem, alleging that frequent exam disruptions have damaged the aspirations of millions of young Indians.

Gandhi outlined three key demands during his address:

• Resignation of Education Minister: Gandhi claimed that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has failed in his duties and must be relieved of his position to ensure an impartial overhaul of the examination system.
• Accountability for Police Crackdown: Calling for strict accountability against those who ordered and executed force against student protesters during the recent ‘Sansad Chalo’ march.
• Public Apology to Aspirants: Demanding that the authority governing the national examination system offer an official apology to affected students and their families.

As calls for accountability grow from both opposition parties and student organizations, the government’s offer for an open parliamentary debate sets the stage for a high-stakes discussion on national examination reforms.
