I didn’t make it to mock them or with any malicious intent," she said. Singh added that she was “not forced" to delete the video. CJP Protest The protest –– spearheaded by the CJP –– began late June at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to express solidarity with the students who died by suicide following a paper leak controversy linked to the Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2026. Joined by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, the CJP sought broader educational reforms and demanded the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as the Union Education Minister. The demonstration took a decisive turn on July 20 following the CJP’s ‘Sansad Chalo’ march call. Crowds defied police barricades and light drizzle to march towards the Parliament in what became the largest street protest in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term.
