Kapil Sibal’s Press Conference on the prevailing situation in Jantar Mantar

Senior Advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal strongly criticized the government's handling of the ongoing NEET-related protests, urging authorities to prioritize dialogue over coercive measures. Responding to reports of expanded powers under the National Security Act (NSA) and security restrictions in New Delhi, Sibal argued that meaningful discussions with protesters are the only way to resolve the crisis. He questioned the delay in addressing students' concerns, called for accountability over alleged police excesses, emphasized the need for comprehensive reforms in the examination and education system, and urged the government to listen to the voices of students and youth across the country. The discussion also touched upon parliamentary debate, transparency, and the importance of restoring public trust through constructive engagement rather than confrontation.
