The demonstrations were organised after students and activists marched from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, justice for students affected by the alleged NEET examination irregularities and broader reforms in India's education system.
Celebrities continue backing the CJP protest
Honey Singh joins a growing list of film personalities supporting the movement. Shabana Azmi marched alongside protesters, while Riteish Deshmukh, Vir Das and Sonakshi Sinha publicly expressed solidarity through social media.
Diljit Dosanjh also posted in support of the students, stating that they should not have been treated in such a manner and urging the authorities to listen to their demands. In a separate post, he recalled being labelled "anti-national" after supporting the farmers' protest and said he had faced backlash and legal problems because of his earlier stand.
The widespread support from celebrities has come after the clashes during the Chalo Sansad march intensified the nationwide debate surrounding education reforms and the alleged examination irregularities.
