Kathmandu. After the National Eligibility Test question paper leak case created a storm of protest across India, the Narendra Modi-led government has finally been forced to bow down to public pressure. India's Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned from the post after a continuous and strong protest by students and youth for the past one month.

Education Minister Pradhan has submitted his resignation after not being able to bear the strong protest carried out under the banner of 'Cockroach Janata Party' at the historical protest site Jantar (Mantar) in the capital New Delhi and the student protests spread across the country.
