AAP on Monday accused the Centre of using tear gas and force against protesters marching to Parliament over exam paper leaks & demanded Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The party alleged the government ignored students' calls for dialogue, criticised police action, & backed activist Sonam Wangchuk's protest, while Delhi Police denied detaining CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke.

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday slammed the Centre for lobbing tear gas shells on marching protesters and accused it of hubris for not starting a talk with the students on strike for the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said the youth protesting now for several days had only one demand: the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

"The protest has been going on for several days. They had only one demand: resignation of the education minister and strict action in the paper leak matter. But no one from the central government had time to talk to the protestors. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has time to eat 'Melody' but not talk to the protestors," Singh said.

The party's Rajya Sabha member said youth were beaten up, tear gas was used against them, and they were treated like they were from an enemy country.
