Hyderabad: Telangana Youth Congress State General Secretary Mohammed Almas Khan demanded Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, alleging that repeated paper leaks had damaged the future of crores of students across the country.
Addressing the issue, Almas Khan claimed that more than 90 examination paper leaks had shattered the dreams of students who spent years preparing for competitive tests. He said students faced repeated setbacks due to corruption, negligence and administrative failures.
He cited controversies surrounding examinations such as NEET and other recruitment and entrance tests. According to him, the repeated incidents weakened trust in the examination system and affected the aspirations of young people.
Almas Khan questioned why the Union Education Minister continued in office despite recurring controversies. He argued that accountability was necessary when students suffered because of failures in the education system.
Paper leaks spark demand for accountability
Furthermore, Almas Khan accused the BJP of targeting people who questioned government policies. He said the ruling party often dismissed voices that demanded justice and transparency.
Meanwhile, he praised Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for raising concerns over paper leaks and supporting students. He said Rahul Gandhi amplified student voices when they sought action against examination irregularities.
In addition, Almas Khan welcomed the nationwide #ChhatronKiGoonj campaign led by the Indian Youth Congress and NSUI. He said the initiative would take students’ concerns to districts and cities across the country.
He described the campaign as a movement for justice, accountability and educational reform. Moreover, he called for strict action against those involved in examination scams and urged authorities to restore confidence in the system.
Almas Khan also demanded reforms to improve transparency and prevent future paper leaks. He said students wanted answers and concrete action rather than excuses from the government.
