Modi’s education minister quits as jubilant Indian youth protesters claim victory
India's education minister resigned on Saturday, handing a major victory to youth protesters whose street protests over examination paper leaks had become a serious challenge for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After news of his resignation, federal authorities restored access to the mobile internet around the protest site, after blocking it for most of the week.
Opposition Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi welcomed the education minister's resignation, but said those who hurt the students during protests "have to be held accountable" and Modi must apologise for such use of force.
