What started as outrage over a NEET-UG paper leak has exploded into a full-blown political firestorm. Opposition MPs are now demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan; and even asking PM Modi to personally apologize to students. Why? Because students aren’t just angry about exam leaks; they’re furious about how protests were handled. Police reportedly used lathis, tear gas, even pellet guns on peaceful demonstrators. Sonia Gandhi called it "cowardice and wanton cruelty." And here’s what’s really shaking things up: The PM responded with a late-night video message; not a parliamentary statement. Opposition leaders say that’s a dodge. They’re refusing to debate until he addresses the house, sacks the minister, and says sorry. It’s not just about one exam. It’s about who owns the future; the government, or the students who’ll live in it. This isn’t dying down. This feels like the beginning.
