Former Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan receives a hero’s welcome in Parliament from BJP and NDA MPs, two days after he resigns over the NEET row, according to reports. During the event, members of the ruling alliance praise and hail him as he arrives in the parliamentary complex. Opposing MPs, however, stage protests and raise criticism related to the handling of student demonstrators linked to the NEET dispute. They allege police excesses during demonstrations and question the actions taken against students. One outlet describes the scene using the slogan “Dharmendra Pradhan zindabad,” reflecting the supportive posture of ruling party lawmakers, while another focuses on both the welcome and the simultaneous protests by Opposition MPs. The accounts together indicate that Pradhan’s resignation has become a flashpoint in Parliament, with the ruling and Opposition blocs using the occasion to advance competing narratives about the NEET protests and the government’s response.
