The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) held a “Chalo Parliament” march on Monday, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and reforms in the country’s education system.
Protesters marched from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament despite not receiving police permission for the rally. As security personnel tried to stop the march, clashes broke out between protesters and police. The police later used lathi-charge to disperse the crowd.
Ahead of the protest, Delhi Police had tightened security across the national capital. High alert was declared, and restrictions were imposed on public gatherings. Police also warned that no more than five people would be allowed to assemble anywhere except the designated protest area at Jantar Mantar.
