Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned from his post. This decision follows a series of protests and demonstrations held across the country over the past few days under the banner of the CJP. He submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accepting moral responsibility for the paper leak. Pradhan stated that this decision was made out of respect for the aspirations of the youth. Amidst the massive uproar regarding paper leaks in various competitive examinations—including NEET—opposition parties had been fiercely criticizing Pradhan’s performance. Consequently, protests demanding his resignation intensified at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, led by the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP). Although the government had announced its readiness to discuss the issue during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, the Congress made it clear that any discussion would take place only after Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down as Education Minister. Faced with this situation, the government finally yielded.
