On July 23, 2026, opposition leaders from the INDIA bloc, including Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, gathered at Gandhi Smriti in New Delhi to protest the NEET paper leak. The protest, which began at around 8:04 PM IST, was part of a larger vigil at Jantar Mantar, where students have been demonstrating.
The opposition leaders expressed solidarity with students, stating that the government must address the issue of the leaked exam papers. Rahul Gandhi, along with other MPs, marched to Gandhi Smriti, a site associated with Mahatma Gandhi, to highlight their demands for a fair investigation.
The NEET paper leak, which came to light earlier in July 2026, has sparked widespread outrage among students and parents. The opposition has called for a parliamentary inquiry and stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The protest at Jantar Mantar continues, with students demanding accountability.
