Overview
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke led a protest at Eco Garden in Lucknow on Friday pressing for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to quit over alleged examination irregularities including the NEET paper leak.
- Organisers unveiled a five-point ‘exam manifesto’ that calls for Rs 10,000 compensation per affected student, a mandatory backup exam within 72 hours, physical evaluation of written answer sheets, automatic age‑limit relaxation for delayed tests, and mandatory audits of exam technology and tendering.
- Local officials gave conflicting accounts of permission for the Lucknow gathering while police and Rapid Action Force personnel were deployed around the venue to control access and maintain order.
- Hundreds of students and job aspirants attended the Lucknow demonstration, a turnout that several outlets contrasted with CJP’s large social‑media following and lower crowds reported at some earlier city rallies.
- The movement plans further city protests including Amritsar and Bengaluru and has warned of a larger mobilisation at Jantar Mantar on June 20 that could escalate demands for accountability in India’s exam system.
