BJP greets Pradhan with ‘Zindabad’ slogans; Opposition counters with ‘Paper Chor’ jibe

During the Monsoon session of Parliament on July 27, 2026, former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who resigned after students protested over the NEET exams controversy, was greeted by BJP members with traditional attire and slogans such as 'Pradhan Zindabad.' In contrast, opposition MPs, including Congress leaders Pawan Khera and Gaurav Gogoi, criticized the government for welcoming Pradhan, calling him an 'RSS hero' and accusing the BJP of failing to reform India's education system. Gogoi argued that the government's recent initiatives, such as a new high-powered committee on education reforms, are superficial, pointing to past committees led by K. Radhakrishnan that achieved nothing. He also accused the government of using police actions against student protesters to protect Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded that Shah address the issue in Parliament.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the BJP's support for Pradhan as politically motivated, aligning with opposition criticism of the government's handling of education reforms and student protests. It emphasizes the opposition's accusations of hypocrisy and lack of genuine reform efforts, while highlighting the BJP
