Congress Leaders Detained During Protests Demanding Education Minister's ResignationPreviousNext

Congress leaders, including Haryana Pradesh Congress President Rao Narender Singh and state in-charge Sanjay Dutt, were detained by Chandigarh Police during protests demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over student treatment and examination issues. The protests followed detentions of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in Delhi. In Jammu, Congress leaders led by Tariq Hameed Karra were also detained after staging a sit-in. The Congress criticized the government's handling of student protests and called for Pradhan's resignation, while police enforced detentions to disperse demonstrators.
