CJP Calls Nationwide Protests Over NEET Paper Leak

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced that it will continue its protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak. This decision was made by the party's founder, Abhijeet Dipke, in a video message on Friday.

Abhijeet Dipke expressed relief and gratitude that activist Sonam Wangchuk had ended his 26-day hunger strike. However, Dipke reaffirmed that the movement would not lose momentum, and the agitation would continue. The CJP has called for nationwide peaceful protests, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.

Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger strike on Thursday night in the presence of Union Health Minister JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, following assurances from the government at Gurugram's Medanta Hospital. The government has agreed to hold talks at a neutral venue on Friday and reiterated its commitment to pushing forward the demands of the students, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The discussions will take place at the Constitution Club of India at 12:30 pm. Abhijeet Dipke, who is still recovering from a fever, has headed back to Jantar Mantar, stating that the fight must go on and the peaceful protest will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has voiced support for the students protesting the alleged NEET paper leak, urging authorities to empower rather than suppress them. The CJP's call for nationwide protests has gained attention, with many expressing solidarity with the students' demands.

The NEET-UG paper leak has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for accountability and action from the government. The CJP's protest and the nationwide demonstrations are a testament to the growing discontent among students and citizens.

In conclusion, the CJP's call for nationwide protests has highlighted the need for accountability and action from the government regarding the NEET-UG paper leak.
