Uddhav Thackeray slams Center over NEET paper leak; extends full support to Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike

Mumbai, Jul 13 (UNI) In a blistering attack on the union Government, Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray has accused the administration of "apathy" toward the nation's youth, asserting that the government is more interested in "toppling political parties" than addressing the educational crisis caused by the NEET paper leak.
Thackeray expressed deep concern over the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, led by the 'Cockroach Janta Party' (CJP) and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike for 15 days.
Thackeray did not mince words while criticizing union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. "If a person is incapable of managing their responsibilities and their incompetence leads to the destruction of the future of millions, why should they remain in office? The government's refusal to replace the Education Minister shows a shocking lack of accountability," Thackeray declared.
