Students Protest NEET Irregularities Amid Clashes and Celebrity Support in Delhi
Thousands of students, led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), protested in Delhi against alleged NEET exam irregularities, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The July 20 'Chalo Sansad' march saw clashes with police, including lathi charges and tear gas, drawing criticism from celebrities like Diljit Dosanjh, Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, and Vir Das, who urged dialogue and condemned police actions. Some, like Kangana Ranaut, supported police measures. Activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike and calls for education reforms remain central to the movement.
