‘Dharmendra Pradhan was just a symbol, now it is the turn of the entire system’, big attack from Congress after resignation

On the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Congress leader Pawan Kheda said that the young generation of this country has proved that only one courageous voice is enough to face thousands of injuries of oppression. Those students were not only chased away, lathicharged, tear gas and water cannon were used, but pellet guns and shock batons were also used. Not only this, we saw that the leaders who raised their voice for them were dragged on the streets. We saw Rahul Gandhi being dragged. We saw Priyanka Gandhi being dragged, you all saw it, but we saw that ego being broken piece by piece, day by day, and today the result is that Dharmendra Pradhan has been removed from his post.

The Congress leader said these things through a press conference. Taking aim at Dharmendra Pradhan, he further said, ‘We congratulate the youth of the country, they have dismissed the Education Minister of India. Dharmendra Pradhan was just a symbol of the very low level education system of this country, of the unemployment of this country, of the corruption of the education department, of police brutality and government insensitivity. The fight is not only with the symbol, the fight will not be only with the symbol but with the system, was and will be. From the system that took 21 lives. This is the same system we are fighting against.

‘One voice of courage is enough to counter a thousand sticks of oppression’

He further said, ‘The young generation of this country has proved that even against a thousand sticks of oppression, one voice of courage is enough. We have seen not only those children being chased, beaten, tear gas shells fired, the leaders who raised their voice being dragged on the streets. I am talking about that system. The Gen-Z generation of the country, the youth, with their courage and courage, shattered the arrogant government of the country to pieces.

‘It is necessary to fix accountability for the violence on July 20’

Pawan Kheda said in the press conference that ‘The demand which we had raised earlier and which was also the demand of the youth of the country, was raised by Rahul Gandhi on every platform. Today a part of that demand has been fulfilled, that symbol has been removed, that face has been removed, but it is necessary to fix accountability for the violence that took place on 20th July.
