Both Mr. Pawar and Ms. Sule had earlier joined the protestors at Jantar Mantar on Tuesday (July 21, 2026), where the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is continuing its protest against the NEET-UG paper leak. The party has extended its support to the call for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. Mr. Pawar urged the Centre to ‘sensitively consider the demands’ and take appropriate action.

“The Indian Constitution has provided protection to the rights and entitlements of every citizen of the country, and the government and administration are accountable to the people. Therefore, instead of suppressing the students and citizens who are protesting peacefully for their demands, the government should sensitively consider their demands and take appropriate action by duly noting them,” he added.
