New Delhi, June 16: Congress MP Tariq Anwar raised concerns about various issues on Tuesday, questioning the actions of the BJP and the central government. He addressed alleged irregularities in the NEET exam, Rahul Gandhi’s role, the nature of the RSS, and the Uttar Pradesh government’s stance on madrasas.
Supporting the decision to ban Telegram for the NEET exam, Anwar stated that it was a necessary move, and he believes the Supreme Court will oversee significant changes in the system. “We hope for this,” he added.
However, he expressed skepticism regarding the government’s preparations for a re-examination of NEET. Anwar remarked that the current measures seem superficial, especially given the serious implications of the question leak on students’ futures. “The government’s actions appear to be merely a facade, an attempt to suppress the issue. Trust in the government is waning, particularly among students. Protests are occurring in various places, and Rahul Gandhi is joining them. The anger and frustration among students will only escalate,” he warned.
Responding to statements from DMK leaders about Rahul Gandhi, Anwar emphasized that their opinions are irrelevant. “Everyone knows Rahul Gandhi is the leader of the opposition. He leads the country’s oldest and most significant party, and the entire nation respects him. He is the only person who can confront Modi directly,” he asserted.
Anwar also backed Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge’s criticisms of the RSS, stating that it is perhaps the only organization that claims to be non-political while consistently engaging in political activities. “There is no clear public accounting of its finances over the past century. Since it is not registered, the government cannot intervene,” he noted.
On Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath‘s comments regarding madrasas, Anwar stated, “I believe Yogi is unjustly targeting madrasas. They serve children who lack access to government schools, providing them with some form of education. If the government has the capacity, it should open schools everywhere. Everyone wants their children to attend government schools, but the lack of schools forces many to send their children to madrasas.”
