Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not reacted on the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan but he has been active on social media. While people expected another late-night Instagram video from him on Saturday (Jun 26), PM Modi did not share any video, instead he shared a post on X on Sat evening, approximately two hours after Pradhan resigned. He expressed that it is a proud moment for every Indian - but the post was about Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh being listed in UNESCO World Heritage List.
He noted that Sarnath has a close association with Lord Buddha, whose timeless message of wisdom, compassion and harmony inspires the world. PM Modi also highlighted that this recognition celebrates India’s profound civilisational and spiritual heritage. In a post on X, the Prime Minister shared: “A proud moment for every Indian! Delighted that Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.”

What Pradhan said in his resignation letter on Jul 25
In his resignation letter addressed to "my young friends," he said that he is resigning to prevent “anti-national forces from exploiting” the situation at Jantar Mantar and across the country. He said that he wants to make sure that “not a single Indian student's future gets entangled in legal complexities.” He also said that his resignation will allow students “to devote their time to studies and focus on building their careers.”
