Overview
- The Cockroach Janta Party has maintained a multi‑day sit‑in at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and organised a “Diaper A Day Keeps Leaks Away” donation drive on Tuesday to demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
- Dharmendra Pradhan called the protesters a “B‑team of disruptive elements,” a remark that Abhijeet Dipke rebutted by accusing the minister of responsibility for student deaths linked to the NEET controversy.
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke appeared before a MeitY review committee on Wednesday over the government’s withholding of the group’s X account and said officials would not show the order behind the action.
- Organisers and students say police tried to reduce the protest area by moving barricades, protesters have held candlelight vigils and the site has drawn left student groups, a free library and solidarity from farmer protesters.
- The sit‑in centres on accountability for an alleged NEET‑UG paper leak that forced a nationwide re‑examination on June 21 and has spawned differing counts of student suicides, making the dispute a focal point for wider political clashes.
