Congress Protest: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, accusing them of exploiting students for political gains and deliberately disrupting the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament over the NEET issue amid the demands of his resignation from the post.
