Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s daughter, Naimisha Pradhan, has disabled her Instagram account after facing online backlash linked to the ongoing protests over the alleged NEET paper leak. Social media users criticised her for pursuing higher education in the United States and tagged her account in posts demanding her father’s resignation. Some users, however, urged people not to target family members and said accountability should remain focused on public officials. Meanwhile, Pradhan defended the government’s stand, accusing the Congress of politicising the issue and reiterating that the Centre is ready to discuss NEET-related concerns in Parliament.
