Ongoing Protests Against NEET Irregularities
The Cockroach People's Party (CJP) continued its protest at Jantar Mantar on Monday, marking the third consecutive day of their demonstration against alleged irregularities in examinations and the NEET paper leak that occurred on May 3. The sit-in, which began on Saturday afternoon, persisted overnight as protesters remained steadfast despite police presence. Volunteers were seen distributing food and drinking water to those participating in the protest.
CJP Founder Calls for Continued Action
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke stated on Sunday that the protests would persist and urged farmer groups and the general public to join their movement. The demonstration featured slogans, speeches, and cultural performances, with supporters clapping, playing drums, and singing patriotic songs. Organizers claimed that by evening, over 200 individuals had gathered. Dipke accused the central education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, of failing to take responsibility regarding the NEET controversy and demanded his resignation. He also called for compensation for the families of students who committed suicide following the paper leak and suggested that the examination be canceled.
Concerns Over Basic Amenities
Protesters expressed concerns about basic facilities, alleging that the water supply in public toilets had been disrupted. They later reported that drinking water facilities had been restored. The CJP announced that their protests would continue until their demands were met. According to organizers, farmer groups are also expected to join the demonstration. A police force has been deployed at the protest site, with barricades set up around the area. This marks the second protest organized by the CJP at Jantar Mantar regarding the allegations of paper leaks and demands for accountability.
