Irony just died again. The cleanest man in Indian politics did not need an SC certificate of his integrity. Instead it is those who sought to implicate him in these charges who ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
Some questions for Amit Shah
1. Why were water cannons not used?
2. Why were lathis with nails used?
3. Who ordered the firing of pellet guns?

The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.
It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indian’s future is jeopardised again.
The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.
It feels like a huge win. The hopelessness which used to emerge during protests that maybe anything won't happen. But yes it did. It's all worth it now.
Congress ruined education for decades with multiple scams, paper leaks & zero accountability.
Modi government expanded access to medical seats across the spectrum via NEET, caught 2026 leak mafia immediately via CBI, canceled the exam, and re-conducted it to ensure maximum accountability. Rahul's drama ignores this.
By demanding Pradhan's head, he seems to be conveniently forgetting the paper leaks in Congress rule and lack of accountability in any of those leaks. Leave alone resignation, even proper conduct of re-exam and investigation was a hassle. So stop politicising students! Focus on punishing criminals.

The students are at top priority, educationally n security-wise, so they need not worry and have their parents worried for them. The Honorable Prime Minister has tweeted, and I am sure that he will take strict action against all those people who are responsible for this leak. So students, plz go back to your parents n homes.
Sonam, it's done, bro. Don't extend this. Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u food from home.
It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.
I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.
This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.
Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.
JUST IN | Massive crowds several thousands strong gathered at Jantar Mantar as mobile internet was shut down in parts of central Delhi. Protesters have had sporadic clashes with authorities according to emerging visuals. Even as security forces tried to hold the crowds at bay, people gathered in batches of hundreds at the Jantar Mantar protest area and crowded Tolstoy Marg on the north end of the protest strip. CJP leaders appealed to protesters to demonstrate peacefully. "India's youth have shown that they're not like the Gen Z of other countries," Gitanjali J. Angmo, activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife said from the protest site's stage. The speakers' remarks are inaudible beyond just a hundred metres from the protest stage, as chanting crowds drown out instructions from protest leaders and security forces' loudspeakers alike. Crowds spilled in and out from a narrow entry point at Janpath, where traffic has been heavily restricted.
