“Certain allegations and loose information are coming in. Let us wait for the probe by the authorities concerned. Let’s wait till July 8 for the Supreme Court’s judgment. There’s nothing to hide,” he said. Pradhan’s comments followed an all-out attack from all fronts — students, parents, educators, and even the opposition over alleged irregularities in NEET-UG results that were announced on June 4, the day Lok Sabha results were announced.
Reacting to Congress’s attack on the Prime Minister’s silence on the matter, Pradhan — who took charge of the ministry on Thursday for the second consecutive term — said, “They have just lost the elections and are now looking for a new issue. We have the facts and misleading students and the public based on lies is not right.”
He said NEET-UG was held at over 4,500 centres and incorrect question distribution was reported from just six of them. “Just because of the six centers, we can’t question the sanctity and credibility of the entire system…,” he said.
