Summary

  • Freedom Park in Bengaluru hosted a 4 p.m. CJP protest on Sunday, part of a nationwide push for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign over the alleged NEET paper leak.
  • The campaign also targets alleged irregularities in CBSE’s on-screen marking system, which CJP says have undermined trust in the education system.
  • Prakash Raj joined the Bengaluru protest, and CJP said activist Sonam Wangchuk would also attend as the group sought to widen public attention.
  • Hyderabad’s Dharna Chowk drew large crowds earlier in the day, where Wangchuk said the agitation was not for political power but to raise awareness and protect citizens’ rights.
  • CJP has already staged similar protests in Delhi, Pune, Lucknow and Amritsar, signaling a broader national campaign beyond Sunday’s Bengaluru demonstration.
