Fact Checks Debunk Claims of Sunita Williams and CM Vijay at Delhi CJP Protest
Videos circulating on social media claiming that NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay joined the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar have been debunked. Fact checks by OneIndia, India Today, and Firstpost confirm these videos are old and unrelated, originating from events in Kerala and Chennai. The CJP protest continues in Delhi, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over alleged exam paper leaks, with police detaining several protesters amid ongoing investigations.
