CJP Says PM's Response 'Insufficient', Vows to Continue Jantar Mantar Protest Until Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns

CJP Rejects PM's Response

CJP leaders said they were not satisfied with the Prime Minister's assurances regarding the alleged NEET paper leak and related student concerns.

They argued that stronger political accountability was necessary to restore confidence in the examination system.

These remarks reflect the organisers' position.

Protest to Continue

According to CJP representatives, the protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until their key demands are addressed.

Among the demands are:

  • Resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

  • Greater accountability over the alleged examination irregularities.

  • Reforms to strengthen the integrity of competitive examinations.

  • Protection of students' interests.

Government's Position

The Central Government has maintained that investigations into the alleged examination irregularities are ongoing and that strict action will be taken against those found responsible.

Government leaders have defended the Education Minister and rejected Opposition demands for his resignation.

These statements represent the government's position.

Political Context

The alleged NEET paper leak has become a major issue during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, leading to nationwide protests, repeated disruptions in Parliament and sharp exchanges between the ruling BJP and Opposition parties.

Looking Ahead

The Jantar Mantar protest is expected to continue as long as the organisers maintain their demands. The issue is likely to remain at the centre of political debate, with Parliament, student organisations and political parties continuing to press their respective positions.
