Akasa stressed the need for accountability and dialogue for the youth of the nation, emphasizing that students should not face violence while peacefully demanding their fundamental rights.
Violent clashes erupted during a protest in Delhi as supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and students marched towards Parliament, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination irregularities, including NEET-UG paper leaks. The demonstrations, which commenced at Jantar Mantar, attracted students, opposition figures, and activists advocating for transparency in the education system. Delhi Police have promised a thorough investigation into the unrest.
