CJP Plans Parliament March Over Exam Irregularities

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a peaceful march to Parliament on July 20, marking the first day of the monsoon session. The march will begin from Jantar Mantar, where the CJP's protest has been ongoing for 20 days.

The protest aims to highlight alleged examination irregularities and demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The CJP has urged students, parents, and citizens from across the country to join the protest.

Despite heavy rain, the protesters at Jantar Mantar have continued their demonstration. However, the CJP alleged that Delhi Police prevented protesters from bringing tarpaulins to the site, which are needed to protect students on hunger strike.

Educator and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28, will join the march. Wangchuk appealed to people to come to Delhi and participate in the peaceful march to Parliament. He stated that Parliament is the right forum to raise the issue and find a lasting solution.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke shared a video alleging that police personnel were not allowing tarpaulins at the protest site. He emphasized that the protesters need them to protect the students who have been on a hunger strike for the past 12 days.

The protest has also drawn support from Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant and CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali. Sawant assured protesters that he would raise the matter in Parliament, while Ali expressed solidarity with students, parents, and youths affected by examination irregularities.

Doctors attending to Wangchuk have expressed concern over his health, as he has lost more than seven kilograms since starting his fast. Another protester, AISA activist Hrishikesh, was admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital after his health deteriorated during his indefinite hunger strike.

The CJP has been demanding Pradhan's resignation and compensation for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide following examination-related issues. The issues include the cancellation of the NEET-UG examination over alleged paper leak claims, for which a re-test was held on June 21.

The protest and march are a culmination of the ongoing demands for accountability and action against alleged examination irregularities. The CJP's efforts have gained support from various individuals and organizations, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation and resolution.

The march to Parliament on July 20 is expected to draw attention to the issue and push for a lasting solution. With the support of prominent figures like Sonam Wangchuk and politicians like Arvind Sawant and Subhashini Ali, the CJP hopes to bring about change and ensure that the concerns of students and parents are addressed.

In conclusion, the CJP's planned march to Parliament is a significant development in the ongoing protest against alleged examination irregularities. The march and the protest have highlighted the need for accountability and action, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the demands of the CJP and its supporters.

The issue of examination irregularities is a critical one, affecting the lives and futures of countless students. The CJP's efforts to bring attention to the issue and demand change are a testament to the power of citizen-led movements in India. As the march to Parliament approaches, it is likely that the issue will continue to garner attention and support, ultimately leading to a more transparent and accountable examination system.
