Rahul Gandhi Alleges RSS Control Over India's Education System Amid Pradhan Resignation DebatePreviousNext

During a Lok Sabha debate on the anti-paper leak Bill, Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP-led government, alleging that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) controls India's education system and that former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was merely a symbolic figure. Gandhi claimed RSS members hold key positions in universities and that Pradhan's resignation would not lead to meaningful reform. He also criticized the government's handling of student protests and highlighted the financial burden on poorer families within the current education system.
