Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, on Saturday reacted to education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation amid massive students’ protests over alleged irregularities in government exams, saying that the time had come “to remove this government”.
“Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is a huge step towards reshaping our education system. Well done to students across the country; we are proud of all of you. Heartiest congratulations to every young person, every student who took to the streets and stood firm to protect democracy, the Constitution, and their future,” Gandhi wrote on X.
2 demands still remain – the Prime Minister should apologise while respecting the students and India’s future, and action should be taken against those guilty of violence against students.
For other sections of society—farmers, laborers, the poor, every person whom this government has suppressed and crushed—true courage lies in standing firm in a constitutional manner for one’s dignity.
The time has come to remove this government.
Don’t be afraid!
