Video: Dharmendra Pradhan takes oath amid NEET slogans in Parliament

The 18th Lok Sabha commenced today and Members of Parliament were sworn in one after the other, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath.

However, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's oath was met with protests and sloganeering by opposition leaders in the Parliament.

As Dharmendra Pradhan stepped forward to take his oath as a Member of Parliament, INDIA bloc leaders raised jeers of “NEET” to mock the NDA government amid alleged irregularities in the conduct of the exam.

Opposition leaders raised the slogan against the Education Minister in the Lok Sabha after a nationwide outrage was sparked against the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) over inflated marking and paper leak allegations.
