Bengaluru’s Freedom Park erupts in celebration as students hail Pradhan’s resignation
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned after weeks of sustained student protests.
Hundreds of students and activists celebrated at Bengaluru's Freedom Park on July 25, 2026, following the resignation.
The protests were led by the CJP (Common Job Protests) group; activist Abhijeet Dipke stated protests would continue until all demands are met.
Many at Freedom Park were initially unaware of the resignation due to poor mobile network connectivity.
The news was announced around 3pm via a handheld microphone in Kannada, sparking celebrations with dancing, singing, and distribution of sweets.
