Gandhi Demands Resignations Over Student Protests

Gandhi Demands Resignations Over Student Protests

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, was released from detention and demanded the resignations of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

He also called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apologize to the country's students and undertake major reforms in India’s examination and education systems.

Gandhi alleged that the government refused to allow a debate on student issues in Parliament and accused the government of ignoring students' concerns.

He questioned the state of the country’s education system, highlighting issues like examination paper leaks and the increasing unaffordability of quality education.

Gandhi and other Opposition leaders held a dharna outside the Prime Minister’s residence to bring national attention to these issues.
