RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urges dialogue with youth amid NEET paper‑leak protests

RSS sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat addressed the Vishwa Mangalya Sabha’s concluding session on “Contemporary Motherhood” in New Delhi, saying that today’s younger generation asks questions and needs discussion, not dictation. He called for families to spend time with children, answer their queries patiently and build trust through affection and dialogue. Bhagwat described motherhood as the foundation of human civilisation and warned that a shift from obedience to inquiry requires a change in family communication. His remarks came as thousands of students across India continue to protest alleged leaks of the NEET‑UG 2026 examination paper, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and broader reforms to curb exam irregularities. While he did not directly name the protests, Bhagwat’s call for engagement aligns with ongoing talks between the protest‑organising Cockroach Janata Party and the government. The government has announced stricter penalties for paper‑leak offences and legislative measures to strengthen the education system.
