Actor Sangwan, known for portraying Pepso and for his role in the Netflix web series Maamla Legal Hai, joined the CJP protest in Delhi, raising slogans of “Inquilab Zindabad” and expressing support for students and job aspirants.
Previous Protest Participation Questioned
Sangwan said he had faced questions over his participation in previous demonstrations. “There were photographs of me from the June 6 protest. A CID officer called me and asked why I was ruining my acting career. I told him that when the system is failing so badly, we have to raise our voice at such times,” he said.
National Interest Above Professional Considerations
Stressing that national interest was above professional considerations, the actor said, “In every case, my country comes first before my profession. We are the real rashtravadis.”
Concerns Over Examination Irregularities
Sangwan also raised concerns over alleged irregularities in examinations and called for accountability in the education system. Claiming that examination paper leaks had continued despite repeated concerns, he demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Alleged Test Centre in Abu Dhabi
Referring to a reported case involving an examination centre, he further alleged that a student had been allotted a test centre in Abu Dhabi, citing it as an example of the problems faced by aspirants.
Protesters Cheer Sangwan's Remarks
The actor’s remarks were met with cheers from protesters, who raised slogans in support of the movement. The protest was organised by CJP as part of its campaign on recruitment, examination and education-related issues affecting students and job aspirants.
