Ex-min condemns labelling NEET protesters as traitors
Former minister B Ramanath Rai condemned the BJP's treatment of protesting students, including Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and MP Priyanka Gandhi, over NEET irregularities.
Rai criticized the labelling of protesters as 'traitors' for showing solidarity with students facing police action over alleged NEET paper leaks.
He highlighted the suicide of 21 students due to the NEET paper leak and urged open discussion about the scandal to expose government shortcomings.
Rai questioned what authorities mocking the victims would have done if the students who died were their own children.
