The event is unlikely to have a direct market impact. However, prolonged student protests and misinformation campaigns could create a negative sentiment around India's education sector and regulatory environment.
The India — Delhi Police identified and blocked over 480 Pakistan-based social media handles allegedly spreading misinformation during the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar. The same accounts were active during Operation Sindoor. The police urged students to verify information and avoid anonymous sources. The CJP, led by Sourav Das (actor), has been protesting over the NEET-UG paper leak scandal, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Educationist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest with an indefinite hunger strike and was forcibly removed by police. The government, through Jagad Prakash Nadda, offered talks, but the CJP insists on a neutral venue.
