Education Minister Faces Backlash Over UGC Notifications
BJP youth leaders and ABVP are protesting new UGC equity regulations, pressuring the Education Ministry for a potential rollback or amendment.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is facing internal criticism from young BJP leaders and ABVP functionaries regarding the UGC’s new equity regulations. Critics argue the "one-sided" framework shifts the burden of proof to the accused, potentially weaponizing campus dynamics. With complaints reaching the RSS and fears of resignations, pressure is mounting on the Education Ministry to clarify or rollback the contentious clauses. Sources indicate a "course correction" or partial recall of the January 13 notification is now likely.
