Nationwide Student Protests Demand Education Reforms Amid NEET Paper Leak AllegationsPreviousNext

The ongoing student protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demand accountability and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET exam paper leaks and irregularities. Thousands of students have demonstrated peacefully at Delhi's Jantar Mantar and other cities, facing police action during marches. Numerous celebrities, including Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan, and Kamal Haasan, have expressed solidarity, urging reforms and dialogue. Some voices caution against violence and politicization, while others criticize government responses. The movement highlights broader concerns about education system fairness and student well-being.
