The Mumbai unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday staged a protest in connection with the NEET exam row, calling it a 'national disgrace' and demanded a fresh examination, reported the PTI.

"The NEET scam is a national disgrace. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan must immediately resign," Sandeep Katke, vice-president of AAP's Mumbai unit, the news agency reported on Wednesday.
