Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj Join CJP Protest Supporting NEET Reform Demands
Veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj joined the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, supporting students demanding education reforms and accountability over alleged NEET exam irregularities. Azmi met hunger strikers, including CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, and urged peaceful dialogue, revealing she and Javed Akhtar wrote to Prime Minister Modi seeking talks. The CJP's 'Chalo Sansad' march to Parliament faced police resistance with tear gas and baton charges. BJP MP Hema Malini called for dialogue instead of protests, while many celebrities expressed solidarity online.
