‘Defeat of Modi’s stubbornness’, says Opposition on Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation

The Opposition on Saturday described Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation as “a huge step towards reshaping our education system”, and that it constituted the defeat of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “stubbornness”.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should apologise to the protesting students and take action “against those guilty of violence against students”.

The leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha extended his congratulations “to every young person, every student who took to the streets and stood firm to protect democracy, the Constitution, and their future”.

Pradhan said he submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi so that “anti-national forces” do not take advantage of the ongoing protests, and so that no student “gets embroiled in legal battles”.

Pradhan resigned after weeks of youth demonstrations at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar led by the Cockroach Janta Party political campaign, with protesters demanding his removal over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.

धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा हमारे education system को फिर से संवारने की दिशा में बहुत बड़ा कदम है।

शाबाश देश भर के छात्रों, आप सभी पर गर्व है।

सड़कों पर आ कर लोकतंत्र, संविधान और अपने भविष्य की रक्षा में डट कर खड़े होने वाले हर एक युवा, हर छात्र को बहुत-बहुत बधाई।
