Clashes Erupt as CJP Protesters Attempt to March Towards Parliament in Delhi
Thousands of protesters from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched towards Parliament in New Delhi demanding accountability over examination irregularities and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest escalated as demonstrators attempted to breach multiple police barricades, leading to clashes with security forces who used tear gas, lathi charges, and baton charges to disperse crowds. Over 50 police personnel and several protesters were injured, with dozens detained. Authorities imposed prohibitory orders, restricted metro access, and suspended internet services in parts of central Delhi. Police urged calm and restraint, while CJP leaders claimed talks with government officials were ongoing amid heightened tensions during the Monsoon Session.
