Congress holds protest in support of students

The party also sought the intervention of President Droupadi Murmu and submitted a memorandum of demands to sub-divisional magistrate Hitender Sharma.

The protestors demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, a detailed discussion on paper leaks in Parliament, and action against officials responsible for the alleged assault on protestors, Congress leaders told HT.

During the protest, a minor scuffle broke out at the main gate of the secretariat when the protesters, led by district Congress president (urban) Pankaj Dawar and Vardhan Yadav, district president (rural), were not allowed to enter the complex to submit the memorandum to the Gurugram deputy commissioner, said the protestors.
