In an interview, Mohammed Irfan, a 35-year-old small ice shop owner and daily wage worker from a Delhi slum who became an internet sensation during the Jantar Mantar protests over NEET paper leaks, shared his views on democracy, education, and systemic flaws. Describing the plight of ordinary citizens, Irfan emphasized the power of the Constitution and stated, "In democracy, there can be disagreement, but no place for violence." He raised concerns over frequent exam paper leaks ruining middle-class students' dreams of studying at premier public medical institutions like AIIMS.
Irfan criticized government policies, police corruption, and minimum wage disparities across states, noting that working-class citizens continue to suffer under harsh conditions despite contributing to the nation's economy. He stressed that while citizens can compromise on many things in life, education remains non-negotiable for true social progress.
