Urging his government to facilitate a debate on the medical entrܫance exam NEET issue in the Lok Sabha, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi has written to the latter about❀ the issue on Tuesday.

Congress leader Rahul Gaꦏndhi has said the Opposition's request to discuss NEET was denied in both Houses of Parliament on Jun♔e 28 as well as on Monday.

He said the Lok Sabha Spe🍸aker Om Birla had assured the Opposition that he would discuss the matter w🍬ith the government.

"I am writing to request for a debate in Parliament on NEET," Rahul Gandhi said in his letter to the PM.

"Our aim is to engage constructively toꦿ find a way forward. At this moment, our only concern is tౠhe welfare of nearly 24 lakh NEET aspirants across India," he said.

"The NEET examination deserves immediate attention because it has exposed the deep rot in our higher education system. The past seven years have seen over 70 paper leaks, affecting over 2 crore students," the Congress leader added.

"Our students desওerve answers. A parliamentary debate is the first step towards rebuilding and res🍃toring their faith," he said.

"Given the urgency of the m𒉰atter, I request the government to facilitate a debate in the House tomorrow. I believe that it would be fitting if you were to lead this debate in the interest of the students," Gandhi said.
