student exam reform protests – Bharat Pulse News

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Centre and Delhi Police over their handling of student-led protests in the national capital, describing the reported use of batons and tear gas against demonstrators as “disgusting”. Rahul Gandhi condemns police action The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha shared a video showing police action against protesters participating in the Cockroach Janta Party’s “Chalo Sansad” march. Gandhi said the demonstrators were raising legitimate concerns about examination paper leaks and failures in the education system. He argued that students demanding accountability should not be treated as criminals. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being hostile towards young people and said using force against students was neither democratic nor consistent with India’s values. CJP protesters march towards Parliament Thousands of CJP supporters gathered near Jantar Mantar on Monday before attempting to march towards Parliament. The youth-led movement is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities and repeated paper leaks. Delhi Police had said that no permission was sought or granted for the Parliament march. Barricades were installed across central Delhi, while several Metro stations were temporarily closed as part of heightened security arrangements. Scuffles erupted after sections of the crowd attempted to move beyond police barricades. Videos showed police using batons, while tear gas was reportedly fired at multiple locations to disperse protesters. Delhi Police faces opposition criticism Delhi Police disputed allegations of excessive violence and said personnel had handled the situation professionally. Several protesters were detained as authorities prevented the march from reaching the Parliament complex. Opposition parties raised the police action inside Parliament, with Congress leaders demanding accountability for the treatment of the demonstrators. The agitation centres on alleged examination failures, student suicides and demands for structural reforms. Government representatives subsequently opened talks with CJP leaders, although no agreement on their principal demands was immediately announced.
