Breaking: Ravi Shankar Prasad Slams Opposition Over PM Residence Protest, Accuses Child Misuse

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad launched a sharp attack on the opposition during a press conference, accusing it of using children for political purposes during a protest near the Prime Minister’s residence. Responding to the developments, Prasad criticised the actions of opposition leaders and questioned the manner in which the demonstration was carried out. Prasad said that the dignity and security protocols surrounding the Prime Minister’s residence must be respected, highlighting that the area falls under a high-security zone. He alleged that the protesters acted irresponsibly by attempting to stage a demonstration at a sensitive location despite discussions with government representatives. The BJP leader referred to the political background of opposition leaders and said they should understand the importance of security arrangements around constitutional authorities. He alleged that efforts were made to turn the issue into a political confrontation rather than engage through proper channels. During the press briefing, Prasad also claimed that government representatives, including Union Minister Jitendra Singh and senior officials, had approached protesters for discussions. He said the government was willing to debate issues related to the NEET examination but accused the opposition of changing its position later. The remarks came amid a political face-off over the NEET controversy, with opposition parties demanding accountability and raising concerns over examination-related issues. The BJP maintained that the government has already acknowledged concerns surrounding the matter and is taking necessary steps.
