Congress Demands Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation

The Congress on Monday accused the Modi government of putting India’s education system into the “ICU” and pressed for its demands that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan should resign, a probe be conducted into his alleged connections with the paper leak mafia and a comprehensive reform of the system.

Party leader and NSUI in-charge Kanhaiya Kumar said Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is meeting students across the country and listening to their concerns, so that the education system can be



overhauled.

“With the same objective, Rahul Gandhi Ji had given a presentation among students and their parents in Kota. Now we are taking this campaign forward in different parts of the country. We are compiling suggestions from students, teachers, and parents,” Kumar said.

He was addressing a press conference along with NSUI president Vinod Jakhar, and party leaders Kiran Mugabasav, Nishant Mandal and K K Shastri. “In the coming days, we will create an Education Charter to change the education system and set it right,” Kumar said.
