CJP launches 'diaper donation drive' at Jantar Mantar protest
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Tuesday announced a unique 'diaper donation drive' as part of its ongoing protest demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak. The party, which has been holding a sit-in at Delhi's Jantar Mantar since Saturday, made the announcement on X, calling on supporters to bring diapers to the protest site.
Campaign details: 'Diaper A Day Keeps Leaks Away'
Supporters are urged to write their demand for Pradhan's resignation on the diapers and participate in the campaign, titled 'Diaper A Day Keeps Leaks Away', scheduled for Tuesday evening. 'Bring a diaper, write your demand for his resignation on it, and we'll make sure it reaches the education minister,' the CJP said in its post.
Protest enters fourth day amid police tensions
The protest entered its fourth day on Tuesday. Party founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that Delhi Police attempted to reduce the protest area on Monday night by moving barricades to squeeze the site into a smaller space. There was no immediate response from Delhi Police regarding the allegation.
Demand for accountability over NEET paper leak
The CJP has been demanding accountability over alleged paper leaks and examination irregularities, including the NEET controversy. The party has maintained that the protest will continue until Pradhan resigns. On Monday, Dipke said the protest remained crowded despite being a working day and asserted that the agitation would continue through the night.
Candles lit in memory of students
Candles were lit at the venue in memory of students who allegedly died by suicide following the paper leak controversy. The CJP's campaign has drawn attention to the broader issue of examination integrity in India.
