Video summary

Student organizations in India, led by the Student Federation of India (SFI), have launched a significant protest in Delhi demanding the immediate resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The demonstrators argue that the government is directly responsible for a rising crisis of student suicides, citing over ten recent cases and accusing the administration of failing to address the root causes. Central to their grievance is the alleged massive leakage of examination papers for major tests like NEET and CBSE, which they claim has occurred hundreds of times since the formation of the National Testing Agency (NTA). They contend that these leaks have led to re-exams and severe distress among students, yet the minister refuses to accept accountability or step down. The protest escalated when SFI cadres marched toward the Ministry of Education after being blocked by police barricades outside Mata Sundari College. Despite initial attempts by Delhi Police to stop them using tear gas and physical barriers, student activists managed to break through multiple layers of security and advance toward the ministry. The police eventually relented under pressure, allowing a delegation of student leaders to enter the premises to meet with officials. However, the students expressed deep frustration that their demands were not fully met during this meeting, leading them to sit on the hot Delhi roads in protest. They warned that if they are not granted an audience or if their demands are ignored, they will resume their march and target the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) instead. The core argument presented by the protesters is that the education policy itself is flawed and complicit in the tragedy affecting students across the nation. They assert that the leak mafia is so entrenched within the Ministry of Education and the NTA that it operates with collusion, rendering security measures ineffective. The SFI leadership emphasizes that banning apps like Telegram does not solve the problem and insists that the minister must resign to stop the cycle of leaks and suicides. They view the government's refusal to remove Dharmendra Pradhan despite nationwide student demands as a sign of stubbornness backed by political forces like the BJP and RSS, which they believe are prioritizing political interests over the safety and rights of millions of students. In conclusion, the movement remains active with a clear ultimatum: the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan is non-negotiable for the student federation. The protesters have demonstrated their resolve by physically overcoming police obstacles and enduring harsh conditions to deliver their message. They have stated that if their leadership cannot secure a meaningful meeting or resolution at the ministry, they will shift their focus to holding the ruling party accountable directly. The situation highlights a deepening conflict between student activists who demand systemic change and a government accused of ignoring the human cost of its educational policies, with the potential for further escalation looming if the minister does not resign as demanded.

Who is responsible for this suicide? Our country's government is responsible for this suicide. The policy of the country's government is education policy. A new record of student suicide is being created in the country. On one hand the government is making records in paper leak. On one hand, the suicide rate of students in the country is so high that it is reaching a record level. Hello, welcome to the news. As you know, for the last one month, different student organizations and students in different parts of the country have been demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. The way every single paper, be it NEET or CBSE paper, is getting leaked, there are irregularities in it, the way different question papers are getting leaked. Demonstrations are being held regarding all of them. We saw it at Jantar Mantar. Apart from this, today in the country's capital Delhi, after a 10-day ultimatum, the Student Federation of India had demanded the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan and had said that if he did not resign, they would surround him. So they are going to gather near Surjeet Bhawan HKS Mata Sundari College and surround the Education Minister. The police have clearly told them that if they go further, action will be taken. We will have to see how far they can reach. The outside police are just deployed all around. So we will talk to these leaders and show you what the future outline of this movement will be. Where will you people go next? What is the plan for today? Look, our SFI had already called that we will surround the Ministry of Education and we have already set out to surround it and are demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. We are going ahead to demand that Dharmendra Pradhan, the Education Minister, be held responsible for the death of the 11 NEET students. Pradhan resign, resign, paper leak will not work, it will not work, it will not work, see this, the first layer of police barricade has been put up just in front of Mata Sundari College and it has to be seen whether the students are able to break it and move ahead or not, many similar layers of barricades have been made ahead of this also where the students can be stopped and these SFI leaders who are ahead in the national leadership, and this is the first barricade, a lot of pushing and shoving has started, see, they are not able to break it and move ahead, the police and the students are face to face. They believe that today they have to surround Dharmendra Pradhan. The police will have to let them go ahead. Look at this, how the students have broken the first layer of security which was of the police and are moving ahead. However, the police are trying to stop them here. Police and students are face to face. We will see what the way forward is. Canon has been arranged. What is the way forward for him? Because the student SFI Student Federation had already announced it. Dharmendra Pradhan will have to resign today under any circumstances. What are your plans for the future? Our next plan is to go to the Ministry of Education and show it to Dharmendra Pradhan. How violent the activities of the government are for the students of this country. And we SFI have broken the first barricade today [cheers], we want to go, we can also go towards Jantar Mantar in a peaceful manner. Today we had a program to surround the Education Ministry and since morning our SFI cadres started gathering. Senior officials of Delhi Police came to our office and said that we will not let you people come out of your office. But all the revolutionary comrades of SFI came out of our office. We started the march and after starting the march, Delhi Police tried to stop us by putting up barricades. But our SFI comrades broke the barricades and moved ahead. After that there was another barricade, we broke that too and moved ahead. Then under the pressure of SFI, Delhi Police came and said that we will take a delegation of yours to the Ministry of Education. Our Education Minister is in charge of the Ministry of Education. We will introduce you to his Chief Secretary. Whatever petition you have brought, please give it to them. Then these people came under pressure and took away our delegation. Our SFI leadership has gone there. If he doesn't let me meet him now. Right now our protest is going on here. If our SFI leaders are not brought together on time, we will start the march again and this time the march will not be towards the Ministry. This time our march will be towards the BJP office. Because this is the whole game. It is working at the behest of Bharatiya Janata Party and RSS. The government feels that by banning the Telegram app, we will send a message to the country that we are making many improvements. But this is not going to change anything. Because the leak mafia is very strong. That is why, despite all the deployments, if the paper is getting leaked, it means that the paper is getting leaked only due to the collusion of people associated with the Ministry of Education and the people of NTA. The policy of the country's government is the education policy, it is responsible for it. The country's education minister is responsible. Ever since the NT agency was formed, out of all the exams conducted by this agency , the paper has been leaked 89 times and they have conducted re-exams 48 times. Till date, the Education Minister has not said that it is his responsibility for the paper leak that led to these suicides. Sometimes they want to get rid of their responsibilities. We want to say that you should take responsibility. Please resign from your post. If the Education Minister does not resign, SFI will go among the students across the country and create a strong movement. Right now our stand is that if our leadership, our colleagues, our leadership do not meet the Chief Secretary of the Ministry or the Ministry during the ongoing protest, then we will do something towards the BJP office. Therefore this NTA will have to be dismissed. Dharmendra Pradhan will have to resign. SFI had a national call with this demand. There was a protest today and the police put up barricades. Yet our comrades have jumped over that barricade and taken this movement forward. It has given a message to the country that we are not going to stop. We are not going to bow down to this government and will take resignation. As you saw, the way SFI came out marching first. Even the police tried to stop them, they came forward breaking the barricades and finally when the police assured them that their delegation would be made to meet the Education Minister, only then they sat on the road and you can imagine that in this scorching heat of Delhi, students are sitting on the roads. They clearly say that if they do not get to meet the Education Minister and their demands do not reach the right place, then they will start the march once again. However, this generally does not happen because if someone goes to the ministry, there must be some officer or the other. The senior officer will take the memorandum of demands from them and after this these [nasal voice] people are also students, this agitation will end from here and they will return to their homes. This is a big question as there is a demand for the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan across the country. What is the stubbornness that the government is holding on to and what is it that BJP is so obsessed with Dharmendra Pradhan that it is unable to remove him when lakhs of students across the country are making only one demand which is the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. That's all for now, stay tuned, thank you very much for the news.
