Cockroach Janta Party Protests Continue at Jantar Mantar

The Cockroach Janta Party's protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi continued on Tuesday, a day after a high-voltage drama unfolded in the national capital.

Despite police personnel clearing the stage and tents at the protest venue, protesters have reclaimed the site.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said that the march to Parliament would continue for the second straight day on Tuesday. This comes as the monsoon session of Parliament began on Tuesday.

On Monday, more than 100 police personnel and over 60 protesters were injured after police used lathi charge and tear gas shells to disperse crowds that came within metres of Parliament.

Security has been beefed up outside the residence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. About 70 protesters were detained during the Monday march, and an FIR had been filed against unidentified persons for violence and vandalism.

Delhi Police said protesters displayed 'unruly, aggressive and violent' behaviour during the protest, while the protesters accused the police of using excessive force.

In a significant development, the first interaction between the government and the protesters took place on Monday. Union Health Minister JP Nadda met CJP spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka at his residence and heard their demands.

The CJP has put forth three demands: the release of Sonam Wangchuk with no restriction on his movement, the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and Rs 1 crore compensation for all NEET aspirants who died by suicide following the NEET 2026 paper leaks.

Nadda acknowledged their demands and appealed to them to end their protest. The protest is likely to continue, with the CJP determined to push for their demands.

The situation remains tense, with heavy police deployment at the protest site. The government's response to the protesters' demands will be crucial in determining the next course of action.

As the protest continues, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold. The CJP's determination to push for their demands has led to a significant escalation of the situation, and it is likely that the protest will continue until their demands are met.

The protest has also highlighted the issue of student suicides following the NEET 2026 paper leaks, and the need for the government to take action to address this issue.

In conclusion, the Cockroach Janta Party's protest at Jantar Mantar continues, with the protesters determined to push for their demands. The situation remains tense, and it is likely that the protest will continue until their demands are met.
