Will Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign? This statement of JP Nadda created panic

Union Minister JP Nadda addressed an important press conference on Wednesday (July 22) amid the NEET paper leak and massive protests going on across the country. During this, he fiercely targeted the opposition and said in clear words that this sensitive movement of students should not be politicized at any cost.

He stressed that this entire matter should be discussed in detail and openly within the Parliament. The opposition can fix the time for this in Parliament as per its wish. Nadda also assured that the government is taking a very serious stance regarding the entire issue of NEET paper leak. However, when he was asked a direct question about the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, he said that all these issues should be discussed openly within the Parliament.

Nadda angry at Rahul Gandhi, made serious allegations

Making a sharp attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, JP Nadda asked why Rahul Gandhi becomes so ‘selective’ on every issue? He asked that when there were UPA and ‘India’ coalition governments, why did they not discuss the scams or cases that happened in those states? Nadda alleged that the real motive of the opposition has never been to do good to the students, nor are they in favor of improving the quality of education or providing justice to the students. Their only objective is to shine their political mileage through this issue and earn their political fortunes.

The Union Minister also claimed that during the Congress rule, there were more incidents of paper leaks in the country than this. Apart from this, while referring to non-BJP ruled states like Jharkhand and Telangana, he said that such cases have come to light there too. Nadda appealed with folded hands that political advantage should not be taken at all from this serious issue. He also informed that Rahul Gandhi has given a presentation at 4 pm in which more than 150 paper leaks have been talked about, and the government will definitely conduct an impartial investigation into all these allegations.

‘There should be open discussion on everything in Parliament’

JP Nadda bluntly said that we fully want that there should be a comprehensive discussion on this inside the Parliament House. No matter how much time the opposition wants from the government on this sensitive issue, we are fully ready for any kind of discussion. He clarified that he is not making personal allegations against anyone, rather he believes that we should consider a permanent solution to this big problem. The children of the country are our future, hence it is not only the government’s but also the opposition’s equal responsibility to worry about them. Both the parties will have to work together to find a concrete solution to this. He reiterated that the BJP and NDA governments under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi are completely sensitive towards the interests of the students.

What did Nadda say on meeting Sonam Wangchuk and CJP leaders?

When asked about his meeting with climate activist Sonam Wangchuk at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, JP Nadda said that he had only gone to inquire about her health. Wangchuk was admitted in the ICU, so it was a bit difficult to meet him, but still he inquired about his health and wished for his speedy recovery. Nadda said that he has appealed to Sonam Wangchuk to end her hunger strike immediately and return to the mainstream and guide the students in the right direction.

Apart from this, referring to the meeting held with the representatives of CJP, Nadda said that the discussion was held in a very cordial atmosphere. He listened to the views of the people of the organization with great patience and asked them to give their suggestions in writing. The representatives did the same, after which he assured them that the government would respond on this and they have also given their response. Nadda said that the government is always fully ready for any constructive discussion and dialogue.
