Overview
- Kishan spoke to reporters outside Parliament House on Tuesday, July 21, saying the 13 people arrested in the NEET paper‑leak should be given the "harshest punishment."
- During the same remarks he mistakenly referred to the NEET question paper as a "newspaper," a verbal slip that was captured on video and circulated widely.
- The clip prompted rapid social‑media mockery and criticism, including a high‑profile tweet from Dr Nimo Yadav that highlighted the error and questioned Kishan's competence.
- No formal correction, retraction, or apology from Kishan has been reported, leaving both his substantive demand for strict action and the gaffe in the public record.
- The episode adds to a pattern of past viral verbal slips by the actor‑turned‑MP and could deepen public scrutiny of lawmakers commenting on the sensitive, high‑stakes NEET medical‑entrance exam.
