Raj Thackeray supports Thalapathy Vijay’s demand to cancel NEET exam

Mumbai, May 14 (UNI) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) founder president Raj Thackeray backed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister “Thalapathy” Vijay’s demand on Thursday to cancel the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), which is a national-level medical entrance exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to undergraduate medical courses.
He called for the immediate resignation of union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET UG paper leak.
“I am surprised that no action has been taken against Dharmendra Pradhan despite many controversies and confusions related to NEET during his tenure. Pradhan, who is playing with the future of 22 lakh students should resign immediately. I had discussed the issues related to NEET directly with the Prime Minister earlier as well, but the government has failed to provide any permanent solution,” Raj Thackeray said.
