#ResignNishankPokhriyal trends on Twitter after Centre goes ahead with NEET, JEE exams
New Delhi/IBNS: Twitterati, presumably students, on Saturday started trending a hashtag demanding the resignation of Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank on Twitter, after the central government decided to go ahead with the JEE and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) amid Covid-19 pandemic.
Disappointing thousands of students across the country, Amit Khare, the secretary of HRD Ministry, on Friday said the entrance examinations cannot be deferred.
Khare cited the Supreme Court order which had given nod to hold the two examinations.
In this backdrop, Twitterati took to protests on social media by demanding a resignation of the HRD Minister.

The top court has, however, rejected all petitions stating examinations can't be deferred indefinitely.
