Dozens of students were detained for trying to march to Parliament during NEET UG controversy.

On Tuesday, in New Delhi, a group of students from various organizations came together under the banner of "India against NTA" to voice their grievances against the alleged irregularities in several competitive exams. The students had planned to march towards the Parliament building to protest, but their efforts were met with detainment by the Delhi Police.

The students, carrying posters and banners with slogans like "sack Union Education Minister" and "NTA must go", gathered at the Patel Chowk metro station to begin their march. They were chanting "anti-NTA" slogans, demanding action against the reported paper leaks and corruption in the medical entrance exam and other exams.

The police promptly intervened and detained over a dozen students as they attempted to make their way to the Parliament building. A police officer stated that the students had first held a press conference at the Press Club before gathering at the metro station. This was the seventh day of their ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar, and they had planned to escalate their agitation by marching towards the Parliament.

The students' demands include the scrapping of NTA, the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and decentralization of entrance exams. The protesting students belong to various organizations, including the All India Students Association and Krantikari Yuva Sangathan of Delhi University. They have called for another march, "Sansad Gherao", on Wednesday along with other student organizations from the INDIA block parties on the last day of the 18th Lok Sabha.

The students' protest has gained momentum and support, and they are determined to continue their fight until their demands are met. They believe that the NTA is responsible for the alleged rigging in exams such as NEET UG, PG, and UGC NET and that the Education Minister must be held accountable for the irregularities. The students are demanding a fair and transparent system for entrance exams and hope to bring about change through their protests.
