“This is a national issue that affects millions of families and young people whose futures have been threatened,” the CJP said in a press release.
“Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has failed to take responsibility for these repeated failures. Accountability must start at the top. Therefore, we reiterate our demand: Dharmendra Pradhan should resign,” the party said.
The CJP also warned that if the government does not heed their demand or if Pradhan does not offer his resignation himself, another youth protest will be organized at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on June 30, and this time it will be an indefinite peaceful sit-in protest and will continue until Pradhan resigns.
“We will not leave until accountability is served,” the CJP said.
“This movement is about defending the integrity of India’s education system and ensuring that no student is made to pay the price for institutional failure. We invite students, parents, teachers and citizens across the country to join us in this fight for accountability and justice,” it added.
