Shashi Tharoor On Dharmendra Pradhan Resignation: Saturday was a historic day for India. Taking responsibility in the NEET paper leak case, Central Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from his post. All the demands of the students were also accepted by the government. After this, Cockroach Janata Party announced to end the students’ protest at Jantar Mantar. Now the statement of senior Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor has also come out on this matter. Tharoor said that the resignation of the Education Minister also came when the students marching to Parliament were brutally attacked by the police.

Accountability cannot be avoided for long in a democracy: Shashi Tharoor

He wrote that the resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability cannot be postponed indefinitely in a democracy. This resignation comes after weeks long of peaceful struggle by students, parents and citizens raising a strong, peaceful and determined voice across the country.

Youth became victims of police brutality because of democratic rights: Tharoor

Shashi Tharoor wrote that this comes as countless young Indian citizens have disproportionately faced police brutality because of their democratic right to peacefully protest. This should concern every citizen, irrespective of his political ideology, but accountability does not end with a resignation.

He wrote that the deep failures that have brought us here must be corrected with transparent reforms, institutional accountability and a pledge that the future of no Indian youth will ever again be put at risk. The students who took to the streets, expressed their views openly and stood peacefully have the right to know that this is the beginning of reforms, not the end.
