The NEET paper leak controversy escalated dramatically as Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, marched towards the Prime Minister's residence demanding accountability. Protesters sought the resignation of the Education Minister, a debate in Parliament and a probe into the July 20 violence. Talks between Rahul Gandhi and Union Minister Jitendra Singh failed to break the deadlock, after which police detained several Congress leaders. The protest, which began at Jantar Mantar, has now turned into a major political confrontation between the BJP-led government and the Opposition over the NEET issue.
