CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Returns To Jantar Mantar Protest

Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has returned to Jantar Mantar to continue the party's peaceful protest after a night in hospital where he underwent IVs, injections, and blood tests.

Despite still feeling physically weak due to fever, Dipke reiterated the CJP's stance that the protest will continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.

The CJP has been protesting at Jantar Mantar, demanding Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The party has also called for nationwide peaceful protests.

The Delhi High Court has agreed to urgently hear a petition challenging the Centre's decision to suspend internet services within a 1.5-km radius of Jantar Mantar. The matter was mentioned before a bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia.

Meanwhile, the second round of talks between the Centre and CJP will take place at the Constitution Club of India, as per the demand of the protestors to hold the talks at a neutral venue.

Earlier, activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh handed him a government assurance letter at Medanta Hospital. The Centre reportedly promised fresh talks with protesters, legislative action, and consideration of other key demands.

The CJP's protest at Jantar Mantar has been ongoing, with the party demanding that the government take action against those responsible for the paper leak. The protest has gained attention from across the country, with many calling for Pradhan's resignation.

The NEET-UG 2026 paper leak has caused widespread outrage, with many students and parents demanding justice. The CJP's protest is seen as a symbol of the growing frustration among the public over the government's handling of the issue.

As the protest continues, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the CJP's demands. The Delhi High Court's decision on the internet suspension will also be closely watched.

The CJP's determination to continue the protest despite the challenges faced by its founder is a testament to the party's commitment to the cause. The protest has sparked a national conversation about the need for accountability and transparency in the education system.

In conclusion, the CJP's protest at Jantar Mantar is a significant development in the ongoing saga of the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The party's demands for Pradhan's resignation and the government's response will be closely watched in the coming days.
