Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned following nationwide protests; what did the protesters and students say?
The country’s Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, has resigned from his post. This was the sole demand of students across several states, including the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP); the demand for Pradhan’s resignation was consistently prioritized in CJP meetings with the government. Consequently, students now view the Education Minister’s resignation as a victory, and a celebratory atmosphere prevails at Jantar Mantar. The CJP appears delighted with this move by the Union Minister. Lakhs of children—including students preparing for the NEET exam—participated in the protests at Jantar Mantar and strongly demanded the Education Minister’s resignation.
