Kapil Sibal Pledges Rs 1 Crore to Legal Aid Fund for NEET Protesters
Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal pledged Rs 1 crore to a legal aid fund established by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to support students and protesters facing legal action after NEET exam protests. The CJP plans to launch a website to document cases and connect affected individuals with pro bono lawyers. Despite government assurances against punitive measures for peaceful protests, concerns remain about FIRs and criminal cases across several states, prompting calls for their withdrawal.
