Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Modi Government Over Exam Leaks and Student Protests
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being the 'most youth-hostile' in India's history, criticizing the government's handling of repeated exam paper leaks affecting 7.5 crore students and the failure to punish those responsible. Gandhi condemned police actions against protesting students demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, alleging force was used instead of addressing concerns. The protests, led by the Cockroach Janata Party, coincided with Parliament's Monsoon Session, drawing widespread opposition criticism of the government's response and calls for accountability.
