The focus should now be on finding the truth and ensuring complete transparency.”He adds, “Preparing for an examination like NEET takes years of dedication, sacrifice and hard work. Students deserve to feel confident that their efforts will be judged fairly. No one should have to question whether their future has been affected because of circumstances beyond their control.”At the same time, Arjun expresses concern over the violence witnessed during the protests. “It was disheartening to see that both police personnel and some students were hurt during the protests. While people have every right to express their concerns, I sincerely hope such situations remain peaceful. Dialogue and understanding will always lead to better solutions than confrontation.”Arjun also believes the situation should be handled through constructive dialogue. “The best way forward is through honest communication and timely action. Whatever decision is taken should be one that restores trust and gives students confidence in the system.
