Pradhan accuses Rahul Gandhi, Congress of politicising students’ issues
NEW DELHI — Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of using students’ concerns for political gain and attempting to disrupt Parliament during the ongoing Monsoon Session.
In a post on X, Pradhan alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress staged a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, causing inconvenience to the public and disregarding established security protocols.
He claimed that despite the government’s willingness to hold a comprehensive discussion on NEET and other student-related issues in Parliament, the Congress opted for “political spectacle over democratic debate.”
Pradhan further alleged that Rahul Gandhi’s objective was to manufacture confrontation rather than seek solutions for students, asserting that the government remains fully committed to discussing NEET and addressing the concerns of the youth on the floor of the House.
“The students of India deserve certainty over chaos, solutions over slogans and responsibility over disruption,” Pradhan said, adding that the government is committed to delivering answers, reforms and accountability. — (KIMS)
