What are the three main demands of Rahul Gandhi?
Rahul Gandhi said that the government should fix accountability in a serious matter like paper leak. The major demands put forward by them are as follows:
- Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan should resign taking moral responsibility.
- Accountability should be fixed for the alleged action taken against peaceful protesting students and action should be taken against the responsible officials.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi should express regret towards the students and their families and give a clear message from the government.
Rahul Gandhi says that in such cases, merely announcing an investigation is not enough, but the government should also be held accountable.
Also mentioned the tension and protests of students
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said that lakhs of students across the country expect a fair examination system. He alleged that when the students were protesting peacefully for their demands, they had to face security forces.
Rahul Gandhi also claimed that during this controversy, many students were under mental pressure and some students even took steps like suicide. He said that such matters need to be taken seriously and the government should adopt a sensitive attitude.
Political conflict continues in Parliament over paper leak
