Dharmendra Pradhan's daughter quits Instagram after foreign degree backlash

Naimisha Pradhan, the daughter of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, has deactivated her Instagram account after facing online backlash amid the ongoing protests over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and demands for the minister's resignation. The move comes as social media criticism increasingly spilled over from the political debate to members of the minister's family.

According to multiple media reports, social media users located Naimisha Pradhan's



Instagram account and flooded the comment sections of her posts with criticism over her decision to pursue higher education abroad while her father heads the Ministry of Education.

India Today Digital itself confirmed the claims coming from several sources and found that no account of Dharmendra pradhan's daughter exists any more.

Some users also posted comments on Tufts University's social media pages, questioning her overseas education and calling for action against her.
