The Congress staged a dharna near Lok Bhavan in Patna, sharpening its attack on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest was led by Congress chief Rajesh Ram, who called for Pradhan’s resignation.
Along with the resignation demand, the party also sought the withdrawal of FIRs filed against students. The twin demands placed the focus on both political accountability and the treatment of students caught up in the dispute.
The demonstration signaled an attempt by the Congress to turn the issue into a broader political campaign in Bihar. By taking the protest to a prominent public location in Patna, party leaders underlined their effort to build pressure on the Centre over the matter.
With Rajesh Ram leading from the front, the dharna added to the political heat around Dharmendra Pradhan and the student FIR issue. The protest reflects the opposition’s effort to keep the matter in public view while pushing for immediate action.
