CJP Launches Unique Protest Campaign Over NEET-UG Paper Leak Controversy
The Cockroach Janta Party has entered its fourth day of protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET-UG paper leaks, utilizing a unique diaper donation campaign to draw attention to the controversy.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has intensified its protest campaign against the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, marking the fourth day of agitation at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The ongoing demonstrations, which began last Saturday, are centered on allegations of irregularities in the NEET-UG examination and a widespread paper-leak controversy. In a unique form of protest, the organization has officially launched a \"diaper donation drive\" to demand accountability from the government.
CJP Escalates Pressure with Diaper Donation Campaign
The initiative, titled \"Diaper A Day Keeps Leaks Away,\" encourages supporters to bring diapers to the protest site, inscribed with personal demands calling for the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. Organizers have stated that these items are intended to be delivered to the Education Minister as a symbolic message regarding their frustration with the handling of examination issues. The CJP insists that their sit-in will remain active until the minister steps down from his position.
The protest at Jantar Mantar has drawn participation from various segments of society, including students, job aspirants, and members of several left-wing student organizations, such as the Students' Federation of India, the All India Students' Association, and the All India Students' Federation (AISF). As part of an effort to sustain the movement, the AISF has established a temporary library at the venue, promoting the slogan, \"Fight for Education with Education.\" On Monday night, demonstrators held a candlelit vigil to honor students who reportedly died by suicide in the wake of the exam-leak concerns.
Concerns Over Protest Space and Official Response
Despite the persistent nature of the NEET-UG protest, organizers have faced challenges on the ground. Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the CJP, recently alleged that authorities made attempts to suppress the size of the gathering. According to Dipke, members of the Delhi Police arrived late on Monday evening to shift barricades, ostensibly aiming to squeeze the protest site into a more restricted area. While there has been no official statement from law enforcement regarding these allegations, the demonstrators remain steadfast.
Abhijeet Dipke has continued to emphasize that the protest maintains high attendance levels, even during weekday working hours, and plans are in place to continue the agitation overnight. During his address to the gathered crowd, he criticized the current institutional response, arguing that authorities are unfairly penalizing students while failing to take decisive action against those responsible for the reported examination leaks. The situation remains fluid as students continue their fight for transparency and justice in the national education system.
