The Jantar Mantar area still teemed with students and other protesters. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke addressed the crowd from a tempo fitted with loudspeakers.

The CJP first organised a one-day protest at Jantar Mantar on June 6 and soon began a full-fledged sit-in with several hunger strikers.

For two days, thousands of protesters assembled near Parliament Street and marched towards Parliament, demanding accountability over alleged examination irregularities and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Security personnel stopped the march, leading to clashes in which baton charges were carried out to disperse the crowd.
