New Delhi, July 18: Supriya Sule, a Member of Parliament from the Nationalist Congress Party, launched a fierce attack on the central government on Friday. She criticized the government for ignoring the ongoing protests led by Sonam Wangchuk, calling it highly insensitive.
On Friday, Sule visited Jantar Mantar to support Wangchuk and activist Abhijit Dipke. She urged Wangchuk to end his hunger strike for health reasons. Sule condemned the NEET-UG paper leak incident, labeling it a crime that affects millions of students across the country.
Sule stated that Wangchuk is an invaluable asset to the nation. She expressed her disappointment that no one from the ruling party had reached out to him. The irregularities in the NEET exam are not isolated incidents; they represent a serious injustice to countless innocent children nationwide.
She noted that Wangchuk and young activist Abhijit Dipke have received significant support from hundreds in their community. While urging Wangchuk to prioritize his health and end the hunger strike, she emphasized that she remains steadfast in her demands for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and dialogue with the central government.
Discussing other political issues, Sule clarified her party’s stance on proposed legislative changes. She stated that the opposition strongly opposes the current draft of the constitutional amendment bill, emphasizing the need for extensive debate and discussion. The opposition is firmly against its implementation in its present form.
Regarding the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, she mentioned that discussions are ongoing. She cautioned against hasty discussions on the delimitation bill until its official draft is presented.
Defending her recent meeting with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow, Sule adopted a practical approach to federalism. She remarked, “We are representatives of the people. Meeting with ministers from different parties for the public’s work is a normal necessity.”
Sule also addressed ongoing discussions about political agreements within the Pawar family following the party split. She revealed that her late brother, Ajit Pawar, had hoped for the family and both factions to reunite for the nation’s service.
She concluded, “This was my brother’s last wish, and the proposal came entirely from him. As a family, we have made every effort to fulfill his final wish. However, the responses and public statements from the other side have made it clear that they are not interested in reuniting. Now that my brother is no longer with us, we are putting an end to this discussion. This chapter is officially closed.”
