Police Disperse Karni Sena Protesters Opposing UGC Regulations in Jaipur
In Jaipur, police used water cannons to disperse members of the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena during a protest against the University Grants Commission (UGC) Regulations 2026. The demonstrators, part of the 'Savarna Nyay Yatra' led by Mahipal Singh Makrana, marched to submit a memorandum opposing the UGC's updated anti-discrimination rules. Despite police barricades and confrontations, protesters continued their march. The UGC regulations aim to enforce caste-based anti-discrimination measures, but have faced opposition from general category groups concerned about false cases. The Supreme Court has granted an interim stay on the rules.
