Tharoor Says Congress's Student Campaign Did Not Match CJP's Protest Response
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor acknowledged that issues raised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) during recent student protests, including concerns over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, had been previously addressed by Congress through Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign. Despite this, Tharoor noted that Congress's efforts did not resonate as strongly with students as the CJP's protests, which included a hunger strike by activist Sonam Wangchuk and faced police action during a planned Parliament march. The opposition criticized the government's handling of the protests and called for accountability.
