Why is CJP protesting? 

The demonstration came in the context of CJP’s agitation for the resignation of Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan for alleged malfeasance in major examinations like NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC.

The organisation has termed it as a peaceful struggle to raise the grievance of students and job aspirants on examination and recruitment procedures as per its Constitution. 

The protest has started to take off on social media in recent weeks, being supported by students and activists nationwide. Dipke came in to Jaipur late Sunday to help with preparations for the protest. Initially, local authorities did not allow the demonstration, but later allowed it under certain conditions.
