Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as Union Education Minister was "a superficial thing" because Pradhan never actually ran the ministry, alleging instead that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) controls India's education system.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the alleged NEET-UG paper leak, Gandhi said the resignation would not change anything on the ground. "The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan is a superficial thing because he never ran the education ministry. The organisation who runs the ministry is the RSS," he said. He also added, "Pradhan is the symbol that the dear enemy is the RSS"
