The India — Rashtriya Janata Dal (CJP) has been protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar for 20 days, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, including the NEET-UG. The CJP announced a peaceful march to Parliament on July 20, the first day of the monsoon session, to be joined by educator and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28. The CJP accuses India — Delhi Police of preventing protesters from bringing tarpaulins for shelter during heavy rain. Political figures Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena UBT) and Subhashini Ali (CPI(M)) have visited and expressed support. Wangchuk has lost over 7 kg during his fast, and AISA activist Rishikesh was hospitalized. The NEET-UG exam was cancelled due to a paper leak and re-held on June 21.
