On the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has congratulated the agitating students. He said that Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is a big step towards revamping our education system. He said, ‘Well done students across the country, proud of you all. Many congratulations to every youth and every student who came out on the streets and stood firm in defense of democracy, the Constitution and their future.
Time to remove this government: Rahul Gandhi
He said, ‘Two demands still remain – the Prime Minister should respect the students and the future of India and apologize and action should be taken against the culprits of violence on students. These are the other sections of the society – farmers, laborers, poor, every person who has been oppressed and crushed by this government – real courage lies in standing firm for one’s honor in a constitutional manner. The time has come to remove this government. Don’t be afraid.
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan sent his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (July 25) amid ongoing student protests across the country, including New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, over the NEET paper leak issue. Announcing his resignation, he said that he has sent his resignation letter to the Prime Minister. He said, ‘I am saddened to see the events of the last 10 days. This is not a matter of personal prestige for me. He said that he has taken responsibility from day one and never turned away from this situation.
Congress is still adamant on these two demands
After the lathicharge during CJP’s Parliament march on July 20, Rahul Gandhi became more aggressive on this issue. After this he held a press conference and placed three demands before the government. His first demand was- resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. Second demand: Action should be taken against the policemen who lathi charged the students. Third demand- PM Modi should apologize regarding this issue. The first of these demands of Congress has been fulfilled, but the party is still adamant on the remaining two demands.
Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned in view of CJP’s ongoing agitation in Delhi. CJP has been protesting for the last few days demanding reform in the examination system, fixing accountability in the NEET paper leak case and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Pradhan’s resignation was among the major demands of CJP.
