NSUI Protests in Lucknow Over Exam Paper Leaks, Demands Minister's Ouster

National Students' Union of India workers marched in Lucknow on Tuesday to protest against recurring paper leaks in competitive examinations. The demonstrators also objected to the arrest of party members who had previously raised these issues.

Police stopped the march, leading to a confrontation between officers and the student activists. The NSUI demanded accountability from Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and called for a ban on the National Testing Agency, which conducts several major entrance exams.

The protests come as multiple state and central exam irregularities have surfaced in recent months, drawing criticism from opposition parties and student groups alike. No official response from the Education Ministry was immediately available.
