Police removes Rahul, Priyanka, other Congress leaders from dharna site near PM Modi's residence
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday criticised Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid continuing student protests, questioning why he had not resigned. Taking a swipe at the minister, she remarked, "Maybe the Education Minister doesn't know how to write a letter of resignation." Her comments came as protests demanding Pradhan's resignation over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination continued in the national capital.
Moitra's remarks were made as demonstrators associated with the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) continued their agitation, demanding accountability from the Union Education Ministry. The protests have centred on calls for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the alleged examination irregularities, with opposition leaders also voicing criticism of the minister.
The statement added to the ongoing political exchange surrounding the protests, with opposition leaders continuing to press for accountability over the examination controversy. Student demonstrations and demands for the Education Minister's resignation have remained at the centre of the agitation.
