Why must a child say 'sorry mummy-papa', Trinamool MP asks as she tears into Centre over NEET suicides

Trinamool Congress MP Sagarika Ghose criticized the Indian central government over the cancellation of the NEET-UG examination, which she linked to a series of student suicides. She argued that the cancellation was not just an administrative error but a personal betrayal, emphasizing the emotional toll on families. Ghose highlighted specific cases, including a young girl who left a note expressing despair after failing to retake the exam. She condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not addressing the issue directly, accusing him of prioritizing his 'Mann ki Baat' radio program over the concerns of students. Ghose also criticized Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for suggesting that canceled exams could benefit students by providing more study time, calling this perspective preposterous. The controversy led to the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and widespread protests across the country.
