Pradhan resigns as education minister over NEET paper leak

Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister on Saturday amid nationwide protests over the alleged NEET paper leak. Veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi welcomed the move, saying 'better late than never,' and congratulated students for their peaceful agitation. Opposition parties called it a victory for students but demanded further reforms and an apology from Prime Minister Modi for police actions against protesters.
