Celebs Extend Support To Students & Condemn Police Action Amid CJP Protest

Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor has backed the student protests over the NEET-UG paper leak with an Instagram post questioning the education system. His remarks added to wider calls for accountability, reforms and restoring young people’s faith in education. Shahid reflected on the importance of restoring young people’s faith in education, asking what happens when the very generation the system is meant to serve begins to lose trust in it. “What will happen if the very youth that the education system is made for doesn’t believe in it anymore?” Shahid wrote.

Aditya Narayan

The singer and television host has spoken out about the importance of protecting merit and ensuring fairness in the country’s examination system. In his recent post, he stressed that every student’s hard work deserves to be safeguarded. He called for greater transparency and accountability in the wake of examination-related failures.

Taking to Instagram, Aditya wrote, “Merit, fairness and opportunity are national responsibilities. The biggest issue here is whether we’re creating a country where young people who choose the right path by dedicating years to their education, sacrificing their time, peace of mind and often their family’s savings can trust the system they’re working so hard to succeed in.”

Piyush Mishra

Actor, lyricist, and poet Piyush Mishra has officially extended his support to the (CJP) youth movement. He released an emotional video appeal directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mishra strongly condemned the recent police crackdown and lathi-charge against student demonstrators at Jantar Mantar. He emphasised that the violence and unrest could have been entirely avoided if the central government had initiated an early dialogue with the youth.

He remarked that “these children are the country’s future” and urged the administration to take immediate accountability. Additionally, Mishra’s iconic 2009 song Aarambh Hai Prachand has widely gone viral on social media as one of the primary anthems backing the CJP movement online.

Javed Ali

Javed Ali publicly expressed solidarity with the student protests organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Speaking to the media after returning from a tour in the United States, Ali stated that he felt deeply saddened by the situation and called for the students’ demands to be met quickly. In a video interview with IANS, Ali highlighted his sadness regarding Sonam Wangchuk’s ongoing hunger strike and insisted that the students’ concerns must be resolved immediately. The protests intensified following a police lathi-charge during a “Chalo Sansad” march from Jantar Mantar toward the Parliament, sparking nationwide public outrage.

Mannara Chopra

The actress has reacted after severe backlash. She said, “I don’t want to give my viewpoint on that, and why should I? The matter here is all about students. And I think that should be taken forward and talked about rather than talking about other things.”

Kangna Sharma

The actress at an event said, “Apne paas se toh government aaye, poochhe ki kya hai, kya nahi. Maar-peet se baat kyun hui aise? Maine dekha ki ek police wala aise lathi ghuma raha tha, jaise kisi ladki ko maar raha ho. Agar is government mein aisa ho raha hai, toh matlab ab pata nahi desh mein kya ho raha hai. No idea. Mumbai mein bhi hua hai. Aaj Mumbai mein bhi maine dekha. Ayesha ko bhi lekar gaye, woh maine dekha. But really, very bad. Main bhi jaaungi.”

When asked by the pap if PM Modi should respond, Kangna said, “Bilkul dena chahiye. Balki unko toh wahan aakar poochhna chahiye. Because jo youth generation hai, unhi ki wajah se woh bane hain. Aur un par lathi chal rahi hai. Yeh dekhkar humein bahut dukh hota hai. Jab hum kisi government ko chunte hain, toh woh hamare bachchon ke liye hoti hai. Aur agar unke saath aisa ho raha hai, toh phir dekhne ke liye aur kya baaki reh gaya hai? It’s very, very wrong.”

She continued, “Modi ji ko aana chahiye, ya kisi bhi zimmedar minister ko. Maine kisi minister ko wahan aate hue nahi dekha, na hi kisi ko bachchon se poochhte hue dekha. Woh itne dino se hartal par baithe hue hain. Aakar bachchon se baat toh kijiye. Unki wajah se itne logon ki zindagi prabhavit hui hai. Paper ke liye log kitni mehnat karte hain, kitne intelligent hote hain, lekin koi unki sun hi nahi raha. Toh yeh bahut galat hai. Main is cheez ko bilkul support nahi karti.”

Khushi Mukherjee

Khushi Mukherjee stated that paper leaks are “not new” regarding the ongoing student CJP protest. She remarked that she has seen paper leaks happen since her childhood and claimed it is not a new occurrence. While acknowledging that students suffer when hard work goes to waste, she stated she does not explicitly back any single political group or leader.

What Happened At Jantar Mantar?

The protests at Jantar Mantar, spearheaded by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), have intensified over the past few weeks. It comes after educator and environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk began an indefinite hunger strike, which has now entered its 25th day. On Monday, students from different parts of the country gathered in New Delhi. They marched towards Parliament as the Monsoon Session commenced. The march was stopped by the Delhi Police, leading to clashes that sparked widespread criticism and debate on social media.

The protesters have been demanding a dialogue with the Central government. They are seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. It is over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and other alleged irregularities in the examination process. 2 more demands follow after his resignation.
