CJP Accuses BJP of Disrupting Student Protest with Violence
Dipke said the protest has reached its 34th day and accused BJP workers of stone-pelting as Wangchuk’s hunger strike entered day 26.
On Monday, the Delhi Police transferred the investigation into 10 FIRs regarding clashes at the Cockroach Janta Party protest march to the Special Cell and Crime Branch. Officers are analyzing CCTV footage, drone recordings, and digital evidence to identify those responsible.
CJP representative Abhijeet Dipke alleged on Thursday that Bharatiya Janata Party workers were sent to disrupt the students' protest and defame demonstrators. Dipke claimed these individuals pelted stones to incite violence during the peaceful assembly.
The protest has entered its 34th day, while Sonam Wangchuk continues a 26-day hunger strike demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Saurav Das termed the resignation 'non-negotiable,' pledging the demonstration will continue until demands are met.
Authorities deployed three layers of barricading around New Delhi to prevent fresh unrest, particularly near key entry points. Police identified around 480 Pakistan-based social media handles allegedly spreading misinformation regarding the NEET paper leak and blocked the accounts.
Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar Joshi voiced concern Thursday regarding the treatment of students, urging authorities to avoid force. Joshi stated the demonstrations should not be treated merely as a law-and-order issue but addressed with empathy.
