PTC News Desk: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's daughter, Naimisha Pradhan disabled her Instagram account after receiving backlash over pursuing an educational degree abroad. Naimisha completed her Master of Laws (LLM) degree from a university in Massachusetts, United States.


Amid the ongoing protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party demanding Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation Instagram users found his daughter's account and flooded comments sections of several posts, tagging her.


The outrage intensified following police crackdown on protesting students on Monday during CJP's march towards Parliament to raise the issues. 


Several users flagged Naimisha's education in a foreign country seeking that his father must step down as the education minister over the alleged NEET paper leak. Netizens also started commenting on posts made by Tufts University, writing ‘Dharmendra Pradhan resign’.


While some users tagged the university and alleged that she was a “part of the problem”, others asserted that the issue must remain focused on Pradhan and not include his family members."


Earlier in the day, Dharmendra Pradhan broke his silence over the protest outside PM Modi's residence led by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and accused him of using students as political tools.  Broadcast & Network News


Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other leaders and workers had reached the PM's house on Tuesday afternoon to protest against the NEET paper leak and other leaks as well as the "brutality" against students who were part of the march to Parliament organised by the Cockroach Janta Party on Monday.


“LoP Shri @RahulGandhi and @INCIndia continue to shamelessly exploit students as political tools to manufacture disruption during the Monsoon Session of Parliament,” Pradhan said in a post on X.


Reacting to the sit-in protest by the Congress and other opposition leaders outisde PM Modi's residence, he said that the protest caused “inconvenience to the public and disregarded established security protocols.”


“For Rahul Gandhi, this is not about students. This is about manufacturing confrontation after every genuine avenue for discussion has been opened,” Pradhan said in the post.
