Speaking from the main stage, Dipke said the resignation demonstrated the power of peaceful public movements and urged students to continue standing up for their rights.

"Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. And this resignation is proof that if you people are not afraid, if you people do not bow down to this government, then we can take the resignation of anyone," he said, drawing loud applause from the gathering.
