A political controversy has erupted over the appointment of Prahlad Joshi as the Union Education Minister, with the Opposition launching attacks against him outside Parliament. The issue intensified after Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi made remarks about Joshi during a parliamentary debate, though the comments were later removed from the official proceedings. However, Opposition leaders continued their criticism outside the House, raising past controversies linked to Joshi and demanding accountability. Congress accused the minister of supporting controversial issues in the past, while BJP leaders defended Joshi and criticized Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for allegedly crossing parliamentary limits. The BJP said the appointment of ministers is the Prime Minister’s prerogative and accused the Opposition of disrespecting constitutional positions. The controversy has added to the ongoing political tensions between the government and Opposition, with Congress continuing to question the government’s decisions and the BJP calling the remarks against Joshi inappropriate. The debate comes at a time when the Education Ministry is already facing scrutiny over examination reforms and student-related issues.
