New Delhi, July 25: In a significant turn of events, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Saturday amid ongoing student protests at Jantar Mantar. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hailed Pradhan’s resignation as a victory for millions of youth across the country.
Kharge took to social media platform X, stating that the “echo of students” in India has finally reached the doorstep of the arrogant government. He emphasized that this is a win for the millions of young people who raised their voices for reforms in the education system. “This is a victory of truth and a defeat for PM Modi’s stubbornness. It is a win for all those families who have lost their children due to this corrupt government,” he added. Kharge also called for PM Modi to apologize to the youth and take strict action against those who used force against them.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar praised the unwavering struggle and determination shown by the youth at Jantar Mantar over the past 28 days in the NEET paper leak case. He noted that the protesters’ persistent demands led to Pradhan’s resignation, symbolizing the strength of democracy and the unity of youth power in the country.
NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule remarked that Pradhan’s resignation came after continuous pressure from peaceful protesters, students, and the opposition. She congratulated every protester who stood firm on the NEET UG issue but emphasized that this is not the end. Sule called for genuine accountability, comprehensive educational reforms, and a detailed discussion on the NEET issue in Parliament.
Senior Congress leader K.C. Venugopal stated that this is a victory for the youth of India, whose strength compelled Pradhan to resign. He highlighted that the demand for accountability has been a unified call from the opposition since the NEET paper leak incident.
The opposition also reiterated their demands for punishment for those who attacked students and an apology from the PM for the distress caused to them. They affirmed that their movement for educational reform will continue until fairness is established in the system, pressure on students is reduced, and the quality of education is improved.
The article concludes by saluting the millions of students across the country who forced the government to bow to their demands and recognizing Rahul Gandhi for being a vocal and committed supporter of their cause.
