Congress accuses Modi govt of using DU, JNU to suppress protests
The Congress party leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, have accused the Modi government of using respected universities like Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to suppress student protests.
The universities issued advisories warning students against participating in protests at Jantar Mantar, which the Congress party sees as a way to bully students.
The opposition is demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over paper leaks and calling for a meaningful discussion on the education system.
The government, however, plans to introduce a strong Bill in Parliament to address paper leaks with stringent punishments.
The universities faced backlash from students, alumni, and other personalities for their advisories.
