'Modi Ji, drop theatrics; Strike at mafia, not students': Rahul Gandhi attacks Centre over 'Telegram ban' move

The National Testing Agency has blocked Telegram until June 22, 2026, citing its use in cheating rackets for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. Telegram has challenged this ban in the Delhi High Court.
