AGARTALA: The Pradesh Congress Committee organised a march here in support of the students’ movement at Jantar Mantar, following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Congress workers and supporters took part in the march, celebrating what they termed a victory for the student agitation that had been demanding Pradhan’s resignation over issues related to the education system.
Party leaders reportedly hailed the development as a triumph of the students’ persistent struggle, asserting that sustained pressure from young people across the country had compelled the Union Minister to step down.
Details regarding the specific route of the march, the number of participants, and any accompanying statements from local Congress leaders were not immediately available.
The march comes amid heightened political activity across the state and the country following Pradhan’s resignation, with opposition parties, including the Congress, seeking to draw political mileage from the development.
