Thousands of protesters have continued demonstrations in India's capital, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over a series of examination paper leaks that have shaken confidence in the country's education system.
The youth-led movement, which has drawn support from opposition parties, has become one of the biggest public challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third-term government. Protesters accuse the education ministry of failing to prevent repeated exam leaks and are calling for greater accountability.
Despite mounting public pressure, Prime Minister Modi has not removed Pradhan from office. Political observers say the decision is consistent with Modi's long-standing approach of standing by cabinet ministers facing controversy unless there are exceptional circumstances.
The protests intensified after police used batons and tear gas to disperse demonstrators in New Delhi, leaving more than 100 people reportedly injured. Opposition leaders have joined the demonstrations, with some briefly detained during the protests.
Analysts note that Modi has previously resisted calls to dismiss ministers involved in major controversies, including cases linked to communal violence, student unrest and political scandals. They argue that this reflects a broader pattern in his leadership style, where ministers are rarely removed solely because of public protests.
The demonstrations are expected to continue as student groups insist they will maintain pressure on the government until their demands are addressed.
