Following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan due to widespread student agitation related to the controversy around leaking of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-UG paper, political leaders from across the country released their views regarding Pradhan's exit.
Rahul Gandhi ( Leader of Opposition): Called Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation a "huge step towards reshaping our education system" and praised the nation's youth for standing firm to protect democracy and their future. Sharing a video message on X, Gandhi emphasized that two key demands remain—a formal apology from the Prime Minister and strict action against those guilty of violence against protesting students, before calling on other suppressed sections of society to draw courage from this movement to constitutionally challenge the government.
