The Supreme Court’s observation on no systemic breach of sanctity in the 2024 NEET-UG exam has vindicated the government’s stand, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday.

Hitting out at the opposition over its criticism of the national medical entrance exam amid allegations of irregularities, including question paper leak, the minister on X said, “The cloud of lies may hide the sun of truth for some time, but truth always wins” and added that findings and the verdict “outrightly rejects the propaganda that was being peddled”.

The top court on Friday said it did not cancel the controversy-ridden NEET-UG 2024 examination amid concerns of paper leak because there was no systemic breach of its sanctity.
