Anand Ranganathan invokes Dr. Ambedkar's 1949 "grammar of anarchy" speech to argue that resignation demands in the NEET protests expose deep hypocrisy across party lines. He points out that the same digital answer-sheet company blacklisted amid controversy was reportedly rehired twice by the Karnataka government — without triggering the same outrage. Ranganathan's question: if resignation is the standard, where does the list of 543 MPs and 70 ministers actually end? #AnandRanganathan #Ambedkar #NEETLeak #GrammarOfAnarchy #DharmendraPradhan #PoliticalHypocrisy #NEETUG #IndianPolitics Anand Ranganathan Aditi Prasad

Reposting this video: Nepo kid Dharmendra Pradhan ji should be sacked for the NEET paper leak! He is so incompetent that he Presided over the Education ministry even in 2024 when the NEET exam papers were leaked & btw none of the top bosses from NTA or National Testing Agency were acted against then. In my opinion the NTA should be renamed as NO TRUST AGENCY! But just Imagine nepo child Dharmendra Pradhan ji still continues to thrive as Education Minister while 22.79 lakh students face hardships after running the career of millions of students in 2024!!

▪️NTA has issued new date for NEET-UG Exam. The re-exam will be held on June 21. The exam took place on 3rd May and on 7th May, NTA received a complaint that the guess paper had some questions that were present in the Question sheets this time. ▪️The Higher Education Department initiated an immediate inquiry and the matter was then handed over to the concerned agencies of the Government of India. They contacted the state agencies and by May 12th, we were confirmed that under the guise of a guess paper, the actual examination questions had indeed been leaked. ▪️We did not want any deserving student to be deprived of their rights because of the conspiracy of education mafias or because an undeserving candidate benefited through unfair means. ▪️After the irregularities that surfaced last time, the Radhakrishnan Committee had been constituted, and we implemented its recommendations. Despite that, this incident occurred. Hence, our first decision was to cancel the examination. -Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan (Dharmendra Pradhan) National Testing Agency Ministry of Education #NEETExam

Dharmendra Pradhan ji is not the Education minister because he has some vision wrt to Education in Bharat, he is a Union Minister only because he is a "nepo kid" whose late father was also the Union Minister in respected Atal Bihari Vajpyee ji's Cabinet. He has been an incompetent Education Minister under whose nose we have repeatedly had paper leaks and no action has happened against any of the top bosses be it at NTA or National Testing Agency or his Education Ministry. After the 2024 NEET paper leaks once again the careers of over 22.79 lakh students are S(R€W€D up due to the NEET exam paper leaks & once again no one at the top will face the consequences or be punished! Like all politicians in INDIA, shri Dharmendra Pradhan ji's daughter got the best Education in the United States of America while kids here in INDIA have their entire future $CR€W€D up due to the incompetence of Nepotism product: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan ji. He must be sacked by the Hon'ble PM of INDIA!

Watch & listen this very very carefully. The spokesperson of CJP, Dahiya, is totally exposed by Anand Ranganathan .. completely stripped naked in front of everyone. The CJP guy doesn’t even know the name of the chairman of the committee constituted to look into NEET reforms. He has NO answer as to why no demand was made for resignation of Punjab and Karnataka Education ministers who are exactly in the same boat as Pradhan when the leaders of those parties visited Jantar Mantar. The crux of the matter is the whole CJP movement was created as a subsidiary arm of AAP relying only on mob mobilisation, hooliganism, bad mouthing the PM & gundagardi to create chaos in the heart of the capital of India. The key point is if they were upset about CJI’s remarks, then why they didn’t protest in front of the supreme court? And they want country’s policies to be decided by them…. Think… Think… Think… 🤔 Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳 #CJP #cjp_ही_aap_है #NEET

#WATCH | Hyderabad | On the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President, Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud, says, "This is a victory for the student community. In a democratic country, if the government acts against the public interest or the will of the people, the public does not remain silent. Just as the Farmers' Bills were withdrawn, today Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned...We express our solidarity with the student community. In a democratic country, the government should work in the public interest. We believe it has acted against the interests of the people, and that is why we have come here to protest."

#WATCH | Delhi | At the Gandhi Smriti, Congress MP P Chidambaram says, "What are they afraid of? We are MPs. We are not armed. We are not violent. We want to visit Gandhi Smriti, where Gandhiji was shot. This is a sacred place. We are coming here to pay homage. Why are there so many policemen? Why are there hundreds and thousands of policemen? What are they afraid of? We were in the bus for almost 30 minutes. Why? I think you should ask them: what is this sense of panic that seems to have gripped the entire government?... This protest will continue until the demands are met. The first demand is that Mr Dharmendra Pradhan, the Education Minister, must resign, and that there must be a full-scale debate on NEET and other issues...Whether the Prime Minister asks for his resignation or not, he (Dharmendra Pradhan) should voluntarily step down. He should voluntarily offer to step down. That will help diffuse the situation"

Anand Ranganathan schools Leftist Journo student on Varna, Ambedkar & Mahatma Gandhi's criticism In a heated exchange, a journalism student questioned Dr. Anand Ranganathan on his criticism of Mahatma Gandhi, accusing him of selectively highlighting Gandhi's flaws while ignoring Ambedkar's praises for Gandhi and not applying the same scrutiny to other leaders like Subhas Chandra Bose. Ranganathan first corrected the student on her misconception about the Varna system, pointing out that it is unrelated to untouchability, and insisted she admit her error, which she eventually did. He then firmly rejected the charge of selective criticism, stating his consistent approach: praising good actions and condemning bad ones without shades of grey. To illustrate, he provocatively asked if she would praise Hitler for his watercolor paintings or economic reforms qualities unrelated to his atrocities. Ranganathan maintained that he applies this objective standard to all leaders he discusses (including Gandhi, Nehru, and others), criticizes wrongs when aware of them, and cannot be expected to address every statement from every figure. He emphasized that he is not offended by differing views but stands by bringing out uncomfortable truths about Gandhi and Nehru. Credit : Clear Cut Talks.

We could see two contrasting videos today where one educates and the other misguides. Hon'ble Minister Udhay - தமிழ்நாட்டை தலைகுனிய விடமாட்டேன் as a responsible leader of a people centric movement speaks with historical clarity and political integrity. He explains why NEET is not just flawed but fraudulent. He recalls how in early days of medical education Sanskrit was mandatory to even apply for medical education. This was not about merit but about exclusion. He also explains that it was the Justice party, the ideological foundation of today's DMK that abolished such discriminatory practice. He highlights the case of Miss Nila Bharathi, a student from Tamil Nadu who couldn't secure a medical seat via NEET but later went on to top the State in the UPSC examination - the most competitive examination of the nation. He rightly points out that NEET isn't about intelligence, and implies that it's only about expensive coaching and repeated drilling. On the other hand, actor turned politcal actor, TVK Vijay takes a completely different route. Instead of standing up for the students of Tamil Nadu, for the health infrastructure of Tamil Nadu, educating them about the marketocracy of neet, he tells students "NEET is not the only exam" through which he implies that medicine is not the only field to aspire to. This is exactly what RSS BJP ecosystem has been repeating since NEET was imposed. Its a cop out, not a solution. By diverting attention, normalising NEET,and refusing to take a political stand vijay has shown a disturbing alignment with the BJP RSS narrative which seems to be deliberate and due to lack of political knowledge. The choice is clear, One speaks the truth and fights for rights. The other surrenders to the Union and sugarcoats injustice. Dravidian movement is about educating the people. Not misguiding.

#WATCH | On the Supreme Court's hearing on NEET-UG 2024 exam, Alakh Pandey, CEO, of Physics Wallah, says, "There was a hearing of the case particularly listed before the results. Here the students were demanding justification on the grounds of the paper leak only but not about the grace marks or anything else, because it was listed on 1st June before results. Our PIL will be listed tomorrow. It is regarding the paper leak as well as the grace marks, the transparencies of NTA and everything else. For today's listing, the Supreme Court said that the sanctity of the exam is compromised that means somewhere they also feel that there have been some kind of issues in the examination and asked NTA to answer this before 8 July but they have not given any relief on the counselling..."

The Question They Didn't Want Answered - And Why It Matters Even More Today This is one of the more revealing exchanges I've had in Question Period. I asked straightforward questions about government decision-making, lobbying, and conflicts of interest involving the Premier. Instead of answers, I was met with interruptions, insults, and repeated attempts to shut down the discussion. Watch closely. Ask yourself: Why was this question so difficult to answer? And why were they so determined to prevent it from being asked? Since this exchange, Albertans have witnessed controversy after controversy involving sole-source contracts, procurement practices, government appointments, and questions of transparency and accountability. And now, AHS has been ordered by the courts to turn over documents to law enforcement. That development makes this exchange even more relevant. The details may change, but the pattern remains the same. When legitimate questions are raised, this government dodges responsibility. Too often we see deflection, obstruction, and theatrics. Question Period exists for one reason: accountability. Albertans deserve answers, not excuses. Watch this exchange and decide for yourself whether this is the standard of government Alberta deserves. #ableg #abpoli #accountability #ucp #alberta #publictrust #transparancy #abtory

#WATCH | Delhi: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut says, "2,000 government schools have shut down in Maharashtra. This reveals just how serious this government—whether in Maharashtra or anywhere else in the country where the BJP is in power—is about a crucial subject like education. Maharashtra has historically been a leading state in education, yet today 2,000 schools are closed... such is the situation in Maharashtra. In the state's Education Department, not a single file—whether related to school recognition or any other matter—moves forward without the exchange of money. A scam worth crores is unfolding in the Education Department right under the Chief Minister's nose... exam papers are being leaked in Maharashtra every single day... more than half of those responsible for the NEET irregularities hail from Pune, Latur, and other parts of Maharashtra, and all of them are BJP workers..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On the NEET-UG Re-Examination, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says, "NEET-UG re-examination is going to take place today. I have complete faith in the NTA, all the state governments, the district administrations, the Indian education sector, and especially in India's students. Nearly 22 lakh students will be taking the NEET exam shortly. Sit fearlessly, without worry, and you will definitely do well. This is my best wish to the students. They have faith in India's system and will continue to have it. May this unwavering faith remain. On this occasion, as a parent, as a social worker, I request you: Please do not jeopardize the future of India's new generation. Let no one make a mockery of it. Let us not do anything that will impact the mental health of the children. In a few hours, the children are going to take the exam. In the past, some so-called responsible people in India have behaved in this manner. They treated children with ulterior motives and ill intentions. If you are responsible, if you consider yourself a true citizen of India, if you represent the people of India, please take responsibility. Don't cause any further hardship or suffering to the children of India. This is our request to you. Not only will the NEET exam be held today, but the remaining CBSE results will also be released very soon. Results for approximately 15,50,000 out of 17,00,000 students have already been released. Those who applied for re-evaluation, re-assessment, and re-verification are almost complete. The CBSE will publish them soon. We will not allow any disruption to the children. We assure you of this today."

#WATCH | Delhi | Cockroach Janta Party's Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das says, "When Ashutosh and I went there, Union Ministers JP Nadda and Dr Jitendra Singh were also present...We clearly conveyed, both verbally and in writing, our three main demands...The first demand, which is non-negotiable, is that either Dharmendra Pradhan should resign or the government should dismiss him from the Cabinet. The second non-negotiable demand is compensation of Rs 1 crore for every family whose child died by suicide due to this broken and corrupt NEET education system. The third demand is that all our brothers and sisters who were peacefully protesting here but faced police brutality and had FIRs registered against them should have those FIRs withdrawn. No FIRs should be filed against anyone...Furthermore, the government should provide us with a sovereign guarantee in writing that no one will be targeted in the future. We also told them about our fourth point—our five-point policy demand charter...The government showed a positive response to our second and third demands: compensation, withdrawal of FIRs, and a written sovereign guarantee that such FIRs would not be filed in the future. The government said that, in principle, it accepts these two demands. Therefore, we have been called for another meeting tomorrow"
