Diljit Dosanjh Supports NEET Protesters, Urges Authorities to Address DemandsPreviousNext

Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh expressed support for students protesting alleged NEET exam irregularities during the Cockroach Janata Party's 'Sansad Chalo' march in New Delhi. He condemned the police's treatment of protesters, calling it "very wrong," and urged authorities to listen to students' demands. Dosanjh acknowledged facing backlash and being labelled "anti-national" previously, especially after supporting the farmers' protests. The demonstrations called for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation amid allegations of exam paper leaks and corruption.
