AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday described Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as a "victory of truth over falsehood", linking it to the student protest over the NEET paper leak row. He said the movement had shown the Modi government that "dictatorship will no longer be tolerated". Pradhan resigned on Saturday over the NEET paper leak row, saying it was not a matter of "individual prestige" for him, but that he was disturbed by the series of events that had unfolded over the last 10 days.
The resignation came amid protests at Jantar Mantar seeking the Education Minister's accountability over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking process, along with wider reforms in the conduct of public examinations.

He said that if democracy is to function, it must work within the framework of the Constitution drafted by Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.
The Hyderabad MP said the government had resisted the protesters for 36 days but eventually had to give way. He also referred to videos of young men and women being hit with lathis, and said the matter had reached the Delhi High Court and could now go to the Supreme Court as well. Referring to the use of pellet guns allegedly used in the protests, Owaisi said, "Recall when they were used in Kashmir. If I am not mistaken, over a thousand people were hit by pellet guns there.
Among them, 50-60 people lost their eyesight completely. Regarding the four youths against whom pellet guns were used in Delhi, there ought to be an investigation into that." Ends
