Protests Over NEET Exam Irregularities Continue Amid Police Action and Political Responses
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) led ongoing protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar against alleged NEET exam irregularities, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Police used tear gas and lathi-charge during a July 20 march to Parliament, resulting in injuries and detentions. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, and Sharad Pawar, expressed support, while government officials emphasized law enforcement and called for dialogue. The protests continue amid heightened security, legal petitions alleging excessive police force, and calls for accountability from all sides.
