Rahul Gandhi Demands Apology from Education Minister for Insulting Students

Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Education Minister

On Thursday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a strong critique against Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing him of disrespecting students and demanding both an apology and his resignation. In a post on social media platform X, Gandhi asserted that the Modi government has become arrogant, targeting students who are advocating for their rights, fair examinations, and job opportunities. He expressed that the government has reached a point where the education minister labels students, who are merely seeking their rights and a secure future, as 'terrorists.'

Concerns Over Education System Failures

Gandhi highlighted issues such as the frequent leaks of examination papers and the failures of the education system, which have adversely affected the futures of millions of students. He questioned how the same government, responsible for numerous paper leaks and the tragic loss of 20 children's lives, can now refer to distressed students and those raising their voices as 'terrorists.' He noted that this is not a new phenomenon, recalling how farmers, who feed the nation, have been labeled as 'professional agitators and parasites,' while those who question the government are branded as 'anti-national.'

Call for Accountability

Referencing past protests, Gandhi accused the government of consistently using derogatory terms for critics and dissenters. He stated that anyone questioning the government is quickly labeled a traitor, which he claims is the essence of their political strategy. He urged Dharmendra Pradhan to apologize to the millions of youth in the country and resign for his failures, adding that he is open to any attacks directed at him.

Commitment to Education Reform

Reiterating his objections to the education system, Gandhi mentioned that he had previously addressed these issues in Kota and will continue to raise them. He emphasized that he has consistently stated that the current education system has turned into a mere profit-making venture. He vowed to advocate for affordable and quality education for every child and to ensure that examinations are conducted fairly.
