After being detained, Ravi Parmar alleged that the central government was weakening the education system. He said the NEET paper leak was not just an administrative failure but an injustice to the future of millions of young people. He added that NSUI would continue its protest until strict action is taken against those responsible and the Education Minister accepts moral responsibility.

Congress spokesperson Vivek Tripathi criticized the detentions and called the action undemocratic. He said the government was trying to suppress the voice of young people and students. He also demanded the resignation of the Union Education Minister over the issue.
