We understand the emotional, financial, and psychological burden borne by students and their families. Their concerns deserve to be heard with empathy and addressed with sincerity,” said the Resident Doctor’s Association (RDA), Rohtak.The RDA, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMCH), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, put out a statement expressing deep concern regarding the issues saying they have “significantly affected the trust and confidence of students and young professionals across the nation”.“The alleged NEET examination paper leak has caused immense distress among lakhs of aspirants who dedicate years of hard work and sacrifice to compete fairly. Such incidents undermine the credibility of one of the country’s most important entrance examinations and adversely affect the morale of deserving candidates,” they said, urging the government to ensure a thorough investigation, identify individuals involved, and take strict legal action against those responsible.They demanded comprehensive reforms within the National Testing Agency (NTA) and expressed concern regarding the handling of the peaceful democratic protest led by Sonam Wangchuk. “As citizens of a democratic nation, individuals have the constitutional right to peacefully express their views and concerns. We respectfully request that such matters be addressed through constructive dialogue, mutual respect, and democratic engagement in accordance with the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India,” they added.Similarly, the King Edward Memorial Hospital, Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (KEM MARD), also expressed concerns, in solidarity with students across the country seeking transparency, accountability, and meaningful reforms in India’s education system.The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA), Telangana, condemned the reported irregularities surrounding the NEET-UG examination, saying the recurring controversies surrounding national entrance examinations “expose serious failures in examination governance and oversight”. “It is deeply disappointing that the Ministry of Education, under the leadership of the Hon’ble Union Education Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, has failed to ensure a secure and credible examination system despite repeated concern,” they said in a letter to the prime minister.Meanwhile, the Resident Doctors Association (RDA), RG Kar Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata, condemned the reported use of force against resident doctors and medical students during the protests.“Violence against doctors has no place in democratic society,” the doctors wrote.The Wire earlier reported that the Resident Doctors’ Association at the Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, where activist Sonam Wangchuk is being held on the 24th day of his hunger strike, wrote to the President of India seeking immediate intervention to uphold Wangchuk’s constitutional rights and patient autonomy.Wangchuk was forcibly admitted to the Safdarjung hospital on July 18 and had written multiple letters requesting to be “released”, until the Delhi high court finally heard his wife Gitanjali Angmo’s plea to seek his transfer to a hospital of his choice. “The Resident Doctors’ Association, VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, respectfully expresses its deep concern regarding recent developments surrounding the continued hospitalisation of Mr Sonam Wangchuk at Safdarjung Hospital, which have raised important questions relating to patient autonomy, medical ethics, institutional independence, and the functioning of public healthcare institutions,” the doctors had written.
