New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the government to facilitate a debate on the medical entrance exam NEET issue in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Gandhi noted that the Opposition's request to discuss NEET was denied in both Houses of Parliament on June 28 and again on Monday. He mentioned that the Lok Sabha Speaker had assured the Opposition that he would discuss the matter with the government. "I am writing to request a debate in Parliament on NEET," Gandhi stated in his letter to the Prime Minister on Tuesday. "Our aim is to engage constructively to find a way forward. At this moment, our only concern is the welfare of nearly 24 lakh NEET aspirants across India," he emphasized.

Gandhi highlighted the pressing nature of the NEET issue, pointing out that it reveals significant problems within the higher education system. He mentioned that over the past seven years, there have been more than 70 paper leaks, affecting over 2 crore students. "Our students deserve answers. A parliamentary debate is the first step towards rebuilding and restoring their faith," he asserted. "Given the urgency of the matter, I request the government to facilitate a debate in the House tomorrow. I believe it would be fitting if you were to lead this debate in the interest of the students," Gandhi concluded.
