Event Summary

Cockroach Janta Party, founder of the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal, was allegedly slapped multiple times by two men during a protest in Jaipur, India. The protest, organized by the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal, focused on alleged irregularities in examinations like NEET, the CBSE marking system, and unemployment, with a central demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Two youths, including Harikesh Gurjar, were detained in connection with the assault. Gurjar claimed to be a nationalist and accused Dipke of having a 'Jihadi' mindset. The incident, captured in viral videos, led to a brief clash between Dipke's supporters and the alleged assailants. Despite the attack, Dipke urged protesters to remain focused on their cause and announced a march to Delhi on June 20. The event has drawn attention from other political figures like AAP leader Manish Sisodia and activist Sonam Wangchuk, who have expressed support for the movement.
