Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Exam Paper Leak Controversy
Former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid widespread criticism over repeated exam paper leaks and related issues in India's education sector. His resignation followed large student protests and concerns over accountability, including reports of student suicides linked to the NEET exam leaks. While BJP lawmakers celebrated Pradhan's resignation in Parliament, some viewed this as undermining the gravity of the situation. The investigation agency's absence at a key hearing further complicated perceptions of the government's response to the crisis.
