Education Minister Resigns Amid CJP Protests Over NEET-UG Paper Leaks
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister on Saturday due to protests over exam paper leaks, including NEET-UG. Protests began in Delhi on June 6 and spread to other cities. His resignation was demanded by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar and required by opposition parties for debating a new law against leaks in Parliament. Previous protests include those against Smriti Irani over the Rohit Vemula incident, Kapil Sibal regarding FYUP reforms, and Murli Manohar Joshi due to alleged "saffronisation" of education textbooks.
