Congress / Opposition leadersIndiaDemanding Education Minister’s resignation, parliamentary debate, and action over alleged police brutality; claiming credit for Pradhan’s resignation

Congress leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, joined by SP and other opposition lawmakers, staged protests and marches outside the PM’s residence demanding the Education Minister’s resignation over NEET paper leaks and accountability for police baton charges. They frame the minister’s resignation as a victory of student and opposition pressure, criticize BJP MPs for welcoming Pradhan as a hero, and push for a parliamentary debate on education corruption and policing excesses.

Dharmendra Pradhan / BJP leadershipIndiaResigned amid protests but welcomed as hero in Parliament; government promises strict punishment for paper leakers

Former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following sustained protests, but was given a rousing welcome by BJP MPs in Parliament, framing him as having taken responsibility. PM Modi announced fast-track courts and strict punishment for paper leakers, attempting to redirect blame away from political leadership to the leak perpetrators.

Student protesters / CJP / Sonam WangchukIndiaDemanding minister’s resignation, accountability, and assurance of no punitive action; escalating tactics to hunger strikes and mass marches

Student protests under the Cockroach Janta Party banner, amplified by activist Sonam Wangchuk’s 25-day fast, escalated with clashes, internet shutdowns, and metro closures in Delhi. Wangchuk agreed to end his fast after Union ministers assured parliamentary discussion on accountability and consideration of the minister’s resignation; Telangana CM Revanth Reddy credited Gen Z protests for Pradhan’s ouster. International human rights groups criticized police use of excessive force, while the Supreme Court declined a suo motu inquiry.

Neutral reporting / mixed official responsesReporting facts of detentions, resignations, internal BJP dissent, and political cross-currents

Outlets note internal dissent within the BJP and Sangh Parivar over the handling of the crisis, daughters of NDA politicians publicly backing protesters, and Assam CM defending his own daughter’s involvement. These cross-currents complicate a clean government-versus-opposition framing and indicate public opinion shifting against the incumbent leadership on education integrity.
