'Dharmendra Pradhan zindabad...': Pradhan gets hero's welcome in parliament after cabinet exit

Former Union Education Minister and BJP MP Dharmendra Pradhan arrived at Parliament for the first time since resigning from the Cabinet post. Pradhan stepped down on Saturday following widespread student- and youth-led protests over testing irregularities and exam paper leaks. His arrival drew contrasting reactions from ruling and opposition members, with some MPs welcoming him. Meanwhile, the student-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) called off its five-week-long protest following Pradhan’s resignation.
