Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday described Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as a "victory" for students, while accusing Union Home Minister Amit Shah of authorising the use of pellet guns and other "lethal weapons" against student protesters.
Addressing the media after Pradhan stepped down amid nationwide protests over irregularities in the education system, Rahul Gandhi said the agitation had demonstrated the power of students standing up for democracy.
