Congress slams BJP over welcome to Dharmendra Pradhan

The Congress on Monday criticized the BJP for welcoming former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan in Parliament after his resignation over the NEET paper leak row, calling it a 'grave insult' to the country's youth. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the episode was 'utterly shameful.' MPs shouted 'Chor Chor, Paper Chor' as Pradhan was felicitated. The opposition also demanded a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on police action against student protesters.
