Delhi and JNU Advise Students to Avoid Jantar Mantar Protests Amid NEET Paper Leak
Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) have issued advisories urging students and faculty to avoid participating in protests at Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak controversy. Citing Supreme Court directives, safety concerns, and potential legal and academic consequences, both universities warned against unlawful assemblies and misinformation on social media. The advisories have drawn criticism from political leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Pooja Bhatt, who argue that students' democratic rights are being suppressed. Meanwhile, some DU colleges have expressed support for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid ongoing nationwide protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).
