Abhijeet Dipke Reacts To Paper Leak Bill, Warns Of Bigger Protest: 'Students' Anger Hasn't Subsided' Published By, Last Updated: July 29, 2026, 19:55 IST Abhijeet Dipke said the CJP would continue its agitation if cases registered against students were not withdrawn. CJP Warns Of Bigger Protest If FIRs Are Not Withdrawn Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Founding President Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday warned the government of fresh protests if FIRs registered against students are not withdrawn, saying public anger has not diminished despite recent developments. His remarks came after the Lok Sabha passed the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, aimed at introducing stricter measures to curb paper leaks. The legislation was passed through a voice vote amid an Opposition walkout and uproar over Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Speaking on the amendment bill, Dipke said reforms alone would not solve the problem unless there was a change in people’s intent.

“There are many reforms in the country, but nothing can be changed without an improvement in the intention of the people," he said. Referring to the fast-track court set up to deal with paper leak cases, Dipke said the very first hearing had been postponed because the CBI counsel was absent. “The very first hearing of the fast-track court on paper leaks was postponed due to absence of CBI Council," he said. ‘We will continue our protests’ Dipke said the CJP would continue its agitation if cases registered against students were not withdrawn. “We will continue our protests if the FIRs against students are not withdrawn. If needed, the next protest will be even bigger," he said. He alleged that students continued to face harassment and warned that public anger remained strong. “If FIRs are not withdrawn and students continue to be harassed like this, we will protest again. This government must understand that the students’ anger has not subsided," Dipke said.

He added that the government should not assume the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan would calm the situation. “If they think that Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation will cool down this anger, that’s not true. There is immense anger among the people, and if required, this protest will happen again—and it will be even bigger than the last one," he said. Anti-Paper Leak Bill passed The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, was passed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday with the aim of introducing stricter provisions to prevent future paper leaks. The bill was introduced after massive protests over the NEET-UG paper leak. It was passed through a voice vote amid heavy sloganeering from the Opposition benches. Proceedings were marked by an Opposition walkout and protests over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks targeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The amendment seeks to strengthen measures against unfair means in public examinations as the government attempts to address concerns raised after the NEET-UG paper leak controversy.
