Delhi Police Tightens Security, Denies Permission for CJP's Parliament March Amid Protests
Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on July 20, Delhi Police intensified security across New Delhi, imposing prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS to ban unauthorized protests, including the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) proposed 'Chalo Sansad' march. Despite police denying permission and warning of legal action, thousands gathered at Jantar Mantar to protest alleged NEET exam irregularities and demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Clashes occurred as police used force to prevent protesters from advancing toward Parliament, while CJP leaders expressed willingness to engage in talks with authorities.
