The students had initially gathered to demand the resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Gandhi specifically lauded the female protesters for their persistence despite facing verbal abuse and pressure to apologize. He announced that he will host a student-focused event titled 'Chhatron ki Goonj' in Pune on August 22, which will feature an all-female panel of speakers.
