CPI slams BJP for felicitating Dharmendra Pradhan after resignation
The Communist Party of India (CPI) condemned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for honoring former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in Parliament following his resignation. CPI national secretary K. Ramakrishna called the gesture 'shameful' and disrespectful to students who protested against alleged education system irregularities. The CPI argued that Pradhan's resignation was a direct result of these sustained protests.
