"Govt is committed to preventing future paper leaks" says BJP's Shahnawaz Hussain on NEET
New Delhi, July 18
BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Saturday said the government had addressed concerns related to the NEET examination and was taking measures to prevent paper leaks in the future.
Speaking to ANI, Hussain said the declaration of the NEET results had brought relief to students across the country.
"The NEET results are out. Many students have performed well, and the shortcomings associated with the examination have been rectified. The government has addressed this very effectively, and the matter is now closed. The government is committed to ensuring that no paper leaks occur in the future and is adopting all necessary measures to prevent them," he said.
According to the National Testing Agency (NTA), 11.21 lakh candidates qualified for admission to undergraduate medical, dental, AYUSH and allied courses in NEET UG 2026.
Nearly 20 lakh candidates appeared for the examination conducted on June 21 at 5,440 centres across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad in 13 languages.
Commenting on the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament, Hussain further appealed to the Opposition to participate constructively in the proceedings.
Referring to Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Hussain alleged that Parliament should not be disrupted and said the Opposition's responsibility was to ensure the House functioned smoothly and that members were able to raise public issues.
"When we were in the Opposition, we aimed to secure the maximum opportunity to speak. Today, MPs belonging to Rahul Gandhi's team and his allied parties are known only for creating a ruckus, engaging in scuffles, and stalling parliamentary proceedings. This is not the proper role for the Opposition," Hussain said.
The Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament for 2026 will begin on July 20 and is scheduled to conclude on August 13. President Droupadi Murmu officially approved the government's recommendation to convene both Houses for this four-week legislative period.

"Good to see the results are out and many students succeeded. But the scars of past paper leaks are still fresh. The government must implement foolproof measures—digital encryption, CCTV monitoring, and strict legal action. Only then can we trust the system again. Also, constructive opposition in Parliament is crucial, but both sides need to act responsibly."
"Another political statement on exam reforms. I want to see action, not words. The NTA needs transparency and accountability. Over 20 lakh candidates appeared—the stakes are too high for any laxity. And about Parliament: if Opposition disrupts, it hurts democracy, but the government must also listen to genuine grievances."
"I'm a student from a small town and my entire future depends on NEET. Every year there's talk of reform, but leaks still happen. I hope this time it's real change. The opposition should also focus on issues like education and health instead of just creating chaos in Parliament. 🙏"
"Hussain ji is right that results bring relief, but the matter is far from closed. Students lost trust after repeated leaks. We need a permanent solution—stronger laws and tech upgrades. Also, hope the monsoon session sees real debate on education and jobs, not just political games. Both sides need to step up." 🤔
"As a doctor who cleared NEET years ago, I feel for today's students. The pressure is immense. The government's commitment is welcome, but they must show results. Paper leaks ruin dreams. And yes, Parliament should function properly—constructive opposition is the hallmark of democracy. Let's hope for the best this session
