Actor Prakash Raj joined Sonam Wangchuk and CJP founder Abhijit Dipke at a Bengaluru protest over the alleged NEET paper leak and concerns surrounding CBSE's on-screen marking system. Addressing the gathering, he said activists would not be intimidated by being labelled as Pakistanis or traitors for raising their voices on public issues. The rally, held at Freedom Park despite heavy rain, was part of a nationwide campaign launched by the CJP to demand accountability over examination-related irregularities. The organisation has also called for a large gathering at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 20 as it seeks wider public participation in the movement.

“The elected leaders should do their jobs. Why have you changed the equation? You are doing politics, we are supposed to do jobs. No! Youth of this country has decided to fight their fight," he said. The actor continued his criticism of the political establishment, arguing that the country's younger generation should have a greater say in shaping its future.

Go away. We the youngsters are fighting for our future. These youngsters are fighting for their dreams," he added. Turning his attention to critics of the movement, Raj said, "You can call us Pakistani or traitors to intimidate us and suppress our voice, but we are not the ones to get scared." The Bengaluru event marked the latest stop in the CJP's protest circuit, which has seen demonstrations being held in different parts of the country. The organisation has been pressing for action over the alleged NEET question paper leak, concerns surrounding the CBSE's digital evaluation process, and what it describes as broader failures in the examination system.
Speaking earlier in Lucknow, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke said the protests would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. He also appealed to students across the country to join the June 20 protest at Jantar Mantar peacefully. The Bengaluru demonstration took place even as Prakash Raj is facing separate allegations in a petition before the Karnataka High Court related to the Dharmasthala mass burial controversy. Ends
