Congress holds protest in support of students

Congress leaders and workers held a demonstration at the mini secretariat against the NEET examination paper leak and alleged police lathi charge on students at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.

The party submitted a memorandum to sub-divisional magistrate Hitender Sharma seeking President Droupadi Murmu's intervention.

Protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a parliamentary discussion on paper leaks.

A minor scuffle occurred when protesters led by district Congress president Pankaj Dawar and Vardhan Yadav were denied entry to the secretariat complex.

Congress said it will continue protesting until demands are met, while BJP accused Congress of politicizing students' issues.
