Soni Razdan statement on Education Minister: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned after the students’ protest over NEET paper leak. Now actress Soni Razdan also praised some of the improvements made during Dharmendra Pradhan’s tenure.
The protest of students was going on for a long time at Jantar Mantar in Delhi regarding the NEET paper leak issue. During this movement, demands for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan continued to be raised. Finally on 25 July he resigned from his post. Amidst this development, a social media post by actress Alia Bhatt’s mother and senior actress Soni Razdan became a topic of discussion, in which she described the suffering of the students as serious, but also mentioned some important reforms during the tenure of the Education Minister.
Told the hard work of students is the biggest concern
Soni Razdan wrote in her Instagram post that she was deeply saddened to see the youth taking to the streets and raising their voice for their rights. According to him, these students were not demanding any special facility, but just wanted fairness and justice. He said that students spend not just months but years of hard work preparing for competitive exams. In such a situation, when questions are raised on the examination system, not only one examination is affected, but the confidence of lakhs of youth is also broken.

Government’s responsibility is not limited to just conducting examinations.
In his statement, Soni Razdan said that in any democratic system, the responsibility of the government is not only to conduct the examination, but also to maintain the trust of the people in that entire process. If students are raising questions on the system, then it is important to listen to their views seriously and find solutions to them. He also said that the youth’s resentment should not be seen merely as a protest, but should be considered an opportunity to improve the system.
Many decisions of Dharmendra Pradhan’s tenure also appreciated
Although Soni Razdan spoke in favor of the students, he also mentioned several reforms made during the tenure of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. He said that many steps like New Education Policy (NEP), skill development (Vocational Education), initiatives to strengthen basic education, digitalization of education and reforms in higher education have been important. He believes that the work of any person holding public office should be evaluated from a balanced perspective. While accountability for shortcomings must be fixed, it is also necessary to acknowledge positive actions.

Accountability and reforms must go hand in hand
Soni Razdan also made it clear in his views that fixing accountability is an important part of democracy. It is not fair to have expectations from students only if there are persistent problems in a system. The institutions and the officials who run them should also accept their responsibilities. He said that every student deserves an examination system on which he can completely trust and where his hard work is properly evaluated.
New debate broke out on social media
This balanced statement of Soni Razdan received mixed reactions on social media. Some people appreciated her voice in support of the students, while many users called the mention of the Education Minister’s work as a positive and balanced approach. At the same time, some people believed that it is most important to fix the responsibility for the irregularities in the examination system. Amidst the entire incident, it is clear that maintaining transparency, accountability and students’ trust in the education system is the biggest responsibility of any government and institution.
