New Delhi: Actor Nora Fatehi extended her support to the students demanding accountability over irregularities in the NEET exam and applauded the bravery and resilience of the protestors.
The students, joined by other supporters, have been protesting at Jantar Mantar since June 20, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, reforms to the examination system and justice for students affected by paper leaks.
Fatehi shared a note on her Instagram handle Thursday and said she hopes the “real solution” comes out.
“My heart goes out to every student, every family, and every person carrying the weight of uncertainty. Education is more than exams or marks; it is a sacrifice. Every student who studies late into the night, and every family that suffers financially to provide for their children an education, deserves fairness, dignity and trust,” she wrote.
The actor said no result and no system should cost a life.
“The reports surrounding the examination paper leak have left do many people feeling disappointed, exhausted and heartbroken. My thoughts are especially with the families who have lost their children. The news of the students committing suicide has shaken me…I am in awe of your bravery and resilience,” she added.
Several celebrities have extended their support to the students, including Alia Bhatt, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, Rajkummar Rao, Revathy, Tovino Thomas, Anurag Kashyap and Arijit Singh, among others.
