NEW DELHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 25th, 2026) India’s education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned following nearly two months of protests over alleged examination paper leaks, according to Indian media reports.
The Indian media reports said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted Pradhan’s resignation.
The demonstrations were led by the youth-led Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which had been demanding accountability over the paper leak controversy. The party claimed its sustained campaign ultimately forced the minister to step down.
Reacting to the development, a spokesperson for the Cockroach Janata Party said that Pradhan’s resignation was a positive step. However, the spokesperson added that the party had not yet received any official communication or initiated any discussions with the government regarding the matter.
The Indian government has not yet issued an official statement explaining the reasons for the minister’s resignation. Further details are awaited.
