Addressing a press conference, the education minister said NTA has already got a new leadership, and reforms have been initiated in the Agency under the leadership of former ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan. He said, “We have formed a new law to address the issue, and the entire case has been handed over to the CBI.”

“New dates for NEET-PG will be announced by Monday or Tuesday,” Pradhan added.

Pradhan, also slammed Congress accusing it of not wanting a discussion, and that the party creates obstacles in the entire functioning of the institutional mechanism.

He said, “On behalf of the government, I clearly said that we are ready for any kind of discussion, but Congress does not want to address the students' issue, they want the matter to remain burning. Such issues have come to light even before 2014, but I cannot justify it.”
