The CJP has been holding demonstrations across the country, calling for the resignation of the Union education minister over alleged examination irregularities. Actor Prakash Raj joined the protest too and addressed the crowd.
Nationwide Protests Against Exam Irregularities
Prakash Raj had said in his post on X, “I am travelling to reach Bengaluru .. to support this relevant peaceful protest.. please join us to raise our voice and make the government accountable for its failure.”
He had earlier responded to an X user who noted that he could not attend the protests in Delhi. In response, he said, “Tried my best to be there and show my solidarity…but couldn’t come due to impending prior work .. always with the movement. I am extremely happy Cockroaches Rocked. Thank you dearest @Wangchuk66 for being there .. who else is better than you when it comes to the future of our education system.”
Demands for Education Minister’s Resignation
The Bengaluru protest comes after the group’s massive demonstration at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6. It was followed by protests in Maharashtra’s Pune on June 11, Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow on June 12, and Punjab’s Amritsar on June 13.
In Lucknow, Abhijeet Dipke told Hindustan Times, “We will continue the protest until the education minister resigns. I only want to appeal to the students to continue peaceful protest and join the mass mobilisation at Jantar Mantar on June 20.” At the protest site, the CJP raised several slogans demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak case, the CBSE’s on-screen marking system-related alleged irregularities and other alleged examination related lapses.
The ongoing CJP protests, now backed by prominent voices like Prakash Raj, highlight a growing national discontent over alleged exam irregularities. With calls for the education minister’s resignation intensifying, the movement underscores the youth’s determination for systemic change.
