In first reaction after resignation, Dharmendra Pradhan says ‘some people misled Gen Z protesters’
Dharmendra Pradhan, the former Education Minister, commented on his resignation in his first public remarks two weeks after parting ways with the Union Council of Ministers. During the protests over the NEET paper leak issue, Pradhan said that some individuals tried to mislead Generation Z. He expressed his lack of personal grievances at the time of his resignation.
Pradhan stated that two crores of children are born in India annually, and they hold aspirations to make India the 'Vishwa Guru'. His first reaction came 15 days after he tendered his resignation, which he announced after weeks of protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party. Pradhan informed the gathering at GM University in Bhubaneswar about his decision, shared with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to quit the Union Council of Ministers.
The government had proposed a change in his portfolio as an attempt to compromise, yet the protesters remained firm on Pradhan's dismissal.
