CJP Jantar Mantar Protest Escalates Over NEET-UG Paper Leak Controversy
Protesters camp overnight at Jantar Mantar as CJP escalates demands for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and compensation for affected NEET candidates.
What Happened
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar escalated over the weekend, with supporters remaining at the site despite limited permission from police. Protesters camped overnight, with CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke urging them to stay until Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Organizers raised concerns over basic facilities at the site, alleging that restroom water supply was cut for two consecutive days before being restored following public pressure and volunteer demands. The protest has become a central symbol of student anger directed at the government over the NEET-UG examination controversy.
Why It Matters
This is no longer a small, isolated sit-in; it has evolved into a broader test of whether a youth-led pressure campaign can maintain visibility and force systemic reform. The story is being covered heavily by major national and international media outlets, signalling a major shift in public attention towards education policy and youth employment.
Official Statement
Our demands are clear: the resignation of the minister, compensation for the families affected by the exam fallout, and an independent inquiry into paper leaks.
