The Arunachal Pradesh student body has issued a statement backing the protests against the NEET examination, calling for clear answers from the government instead of resorting to police baton‑fights. The statement, released on social media, urges authorities to address the concerns raised by students nationwide. "Students deserve answers, not batons," the body wrote, echoing sentiments that have been voiced by student groups across India.
In its warning, the student body cautioned that if the current grievances are not resolved, the protests could spread to other parts of Arunachal Pradesh. The group highlighted the risk of a broader statewide unrest, emphasizing the need for dialogue and transparent communication from the education ministry. The statement also appealed to the public to remain calm and support constructive solutions.
