Union minister Chirag Paswan asserted that the government was in touch with “all stakeholders” in the NEET paper leak case and a decision “in the best interests of students” will be taken at an “appropriate” time.
Talking to reporters, he also slammed the opposition for stalling Parliament’s proceedings over the issue, alleging that it reflected a “flawed mindset” (galat soch).
“The NEET case is being probed by agencies concerned and the matter is also before a court of law. Nonetheless, the government is holding talks with all the stakeholders. An appropriate decision will be taken at an appropriate time, in the best interests of students”, Paswan said.
He was responding to queries about the ruckus in Parliament a day ago, when the uproar by the opposition led to repeated adjournments.
The young leader said, “The opposition is displaying a flawed mindset. If it wants to raise issues concerning the public, it must allow the House to run properly and take part in debates and discussions”.
The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president was on his first tour of Bihar, his home state, since he was inducted into the Union cabinet earlier this month.
