No evidence of paper leak in last 7 years: Pradhan

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan informs Lok Sabha there is "no evidence of paper leaks in last seven years".

Congress MP Manickam Tagore asks if the education minister would resign in light of the "severe breach" in the examination process taking responsibility of the irregularities in conduct of NEET exams.

Pradhan says, “I am here (post of education minister) at the mercy of my leader, the Prime Minister, whenever (question of) accountability comes, my government is answerable to that.” He says government not hiding anything and so far "only one" case of malpractice has come to light in Bihar and the CBI is investigating it.

DMK MP K Veeraswamy demands scrapping of NEET. Pradhan says NEET was initiated in 2010 by the then government and subsequently twice the issue of NEET had come up before the SC and the apex court upheld the need for a single exam on both occasions. Pradhan says protest against NEET today is for “purely political reasons”.
