CJP founder announced a "five-point exam manifesto" aimed at protecting students affected by examination-related disruptions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi must decide whether "one crore students or one incompetent minister" was more important, Abhijeet Dipke said.
"Our only demand since the inception of this movement has been the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. More than one crore students have faced injustice, but nobody is ready to take responsibility or step down," he said.
CJP released an ‘exam manifesto’ which demanded compensation for students in the event of a paper leak.
Students appearing for NEET, CBSE and CUET have suffered injustice, Dipke said, accusing the government of failing to fix accountability.
“After two successful peaceful protests in Delhi and Pune, I am leaving for Lucknow. Will join the students there tomorrow to demand resignation of Education Minister,” Abhijeet Dipke said in an X post
CJP Founder asked students to commit that they will never engage in Hindu-Muslim politics in the future.
He said the country has been left behind even as the world moves forward in AI, semiconductors and clean energy because of this backward politics.
“Left ki taraf ho ya Right ki taraf, poora Pune saath aaya hai aaj. Cockroaches aa rahe hai, Dharmendra Pradhan ja rahe hai,” CJP wrote in an X post.
