Hyderabad: As many as 26 student protestors, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, were allegedly manhandled by the Hyderabad Police on Tuesday morning, July 21.
Student organisations like the Student Federation of India (SFI), All India Student Federation (AISF), All India Federation of Democratic Students (AIFDS) participated in the ‘Chalo Lok Bhavan’ protest, which is the office of the Governor.

On July 20, lakhs of students and youth attempted to march from Jantar Mantar to the Indian Parliament after social activist Sonam Wangchuk and Cockroach Janta party made a ‘Chalo Sansad’ call, demanding the Modi government take accountability for the innumerable irregularities in the current education system.
