Owaisi hails student protests over exam paper leak, credits movement for Pradhan's resignation

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi addressed a rally in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, responding to former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Owaisi described the resignation as a major victory for the nation's youth, earned through sustained struggle and prolonged protests.

Owaisi lauded students who camped at Jantar Mantar for weeks, saying their activism forced the government to respond. He remarked that student pressure was so strong that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to issue a late-night video message. Owaisi emphasized that autocracy cannot function when organized citizens voice demands loudly enough.

Owaisi expressed hope that future national and state competitive exams will be free from paper leak incidents and students will receive fair examination systems. He also commented on broader political issues during the rally.
