Dissent Deserves Dialogue: Kamal Haasan

Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has welcomed the ongoing dialogue between the Centre and the NEET paper leak protestors. He has also called for the setting up of a National Commission on Education and Examination Reform. Kamal sounds positive about the overall progress since Sonam Wangchuk withdrew his fast.

Kamal Haasan wrote on X, "Glad to see dialogue replacing confrontation. Dissent deserves dialogue. This is democracy in action.

Pellet guns, electric shock batons and nail-studded lathis have no place in the land of Bapu.

Equally, attacks on security personnel and public property must be examined fairly. Accountability cannot be selective.

This moment and oppurtunity is bigger than paper leaks. I urge a National Commission on Education and Examination Reform, with a three-month roadmap to restore trust in examinations, reduce academic stress and modernise education, one that also hears Tamil Nadu's voice, where young Anitha's death first showed the human cost of a single high-stakes test.

The Government's willingness to engage is welcome. Now let us ensure that dialogue leads to lasting reform. The road ahead is long, but Indians must walk it together.
