Uddhav Thackeray To Visit Jantar Mantar On July 23

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is set to visit Jantar Mantar on July 23, amid ongoing protests over the alleged NEET paper leak.

The protests have intensified in the national capital, with Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and MP Supriya Sule joining protesters at Jantar Mantar and expressing solidarity with them.

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has begun a dharna outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence, urging citizens to join the protest. Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, blaming him for the clash between protesters and security personnel.

Gandhi wrote on his social media account, stating that the alleged attack on students was an attack on every Indian family. He appealed to citizens to join the protest, saying that every patriotic Indian who believes that students should get justice should join the dharna.

The appeal comes after a violent clash broke out at Jantar Mantar, where RPF personnel and police officials allegedly thrashed protesters. Several viral videos also showed stone-pelting and violence from the protesters' side.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reacted to the clashes, stating that every citizen has the right to protest, but deliberate unrest would not be tolerated. He added that some elements exploit protests for selfish gains and no government wants to baton-charge citizens.

The visit by Uddhav Thackeray is seen as a show of support for the protesters, who are demanding justice for the students affected by the alleged NEET paper leak.

The protests have sparked a nationwide debate, with many calling for action against those responsible for the leak. The government has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with opposition parties alleging that it has failed to take adequate measures to address the issue.

The situation remains tense, with protests continuing in the national capital and other parts of the country. The visit by Uddhav Thackeray is likely to add to the pressure on the government to take action against those responsible for the leak.

In the meantime, the opposition parties are likely to continue their protests, demanding justice for the students and action against those responsible for the leak. The government will have to take measures to address the situation and restore peace in the affected areas.

The ongoing protests and the visit by Uddhav Thackeray are significant developments in the ongoing controversy over the alleged NEET paper leak. The situation is being closely watched by the nation, and the outcome is likely to have a significant impact on the country's politics and education system.

For Mumbai residents, the issue is of great importance, as many students from the city are affected by the alleged leak. The protests and the visit by Uddhav Thackeray are a testament to the growing concern and outrage over the issue, and the demand for justice and action against those responsible.
