Veteran activist Anna Hazare wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing deep distress over violence and police action during student protests in Delhi and urging that the crisis be addressed through dialogue rather than confrontation. He framed the protests as expressions of public anguish about issues like examination paper leaks, recruitment delays, and unemployment, not merely law-and-order problems, and stressed that senior government accountability matters. Hazare also argued that removing a minister, specifically Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, would not weaken the government but would send a strong message about accountability and improve governance. Several reports note Hazare’s stance has aligned with opposition calls for Pradhan’s resignation amid NEET irregularities and broader concerns tied to the 2024-2026 period. He underscored Gandhi’s principles of Satyagraha and dialogue, and urged the government to engage protesters and restore trust through constructive talks rather than force. The coverage also mentions reactions from protest groups and public figures who echo the demand for accountability and peaceful resolution.
