Doctors’ body barred from Parliamentary panel meeting on NEET after BJP objections

United Doctors Front (UDF) representatives were barred from testifying before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, chaired by Digvijaya Singh, after protests from BJP MPs. The committee was convened to discuss issues related to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) examination and the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA), which has been under scrutiny for alleged paper leaks. The UDF, which is demanding the dissolution of the NTA, had submitted names of its representatives and a memorandum of demands in advance but was ultimately excluded from the meeting.
