neet protests

Newly formed online group Cockroach Janta Party sought coordination with the Indian Youth Congress for its upcoming NEET protest, but the overture was rejected. The IYC stated it will not share platforms and is conducting its own nationwide protests, focusing on government accountability. Congress strategists remain skeptical of CJP's sudden emergence.

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke is en route to India for a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Dipke cites alleged irregularities in national examinations like NEET and CUET, impacting millions of students. He plans a peaceful, lawful demonstration after arriving on June 6.

Congress plans to intensify its agitation on NEET-CBSE controversies over the next fortnight, urging members to focus on student and youth issues. The party is wary of rival political parties using the protests for their own agenda, drawing parallels to past movements. Youth Congress and NSUI are holding nationwide protests, emphasizing NEET as their primary concern.

The NSUI rallied in Bhubaneswar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in light of the NEET-UG issues. Chanting fervently, participants criticized the government's negligence towards students, alleging significant flaws in the examination processes. This vibrant protest echoed a growing nationwide movement advocating for urgent changes and greater accountability within the educational framework.

In a passionate display of grief and determination, a group of protesters, among them the heartbroken mother of a NEET student who met an untimely and alarming fate, gathered outside the CBI office in Patna. Their calls for justice were met with police intervention, halting their march before they could reach their goal.
