WHAT HAPPENED
Former Indian education minister Dharmendra Pradhan made his first public statement since resigning, saying he has "suffered" because of the protests led by Generation Z. The remarks came after mass demonstrations that forced him to step down from the post.
According to Deutsche Welle, Pradhan addressed the crowd during a brief speech, blaming Gen Z for the unrest that toppled his tenure. He spoke amid the backdrop of widespread student unrest over leaked exam papers and the pressure on Indian students, issues also highlighted in The Guardian’s coverage of the so‑called cockroach protests and exam‑related controversies.
The resignation and the protests stem from accusations that the education ministry mishandled examination security and that students faced extreme stress over leaked papers and repeated attempts to pass exams.
