Reacting to the ongoing protests and the outrage surrounding them, Hema Malini said that the Union government is always ready to listen to the youth and has consistently worked towards improving education. She told the media, "Agar koi problem hain toh achchi tarah se discuss karni chahiye. Instead of aise protest karne se toh koi kaam nahi hoga. Aur agar desh ke jitne yuva hain, education system hain, iske liye hamari Modi sarkaar humesha saath rahi hain. Bohot kaam kiya hain uske liye (If there is a problem, it should be discussed properly. Protesting in this manner won't achieve anything. As for the country's youth and the education system, our Modi government has always stood by them and done a great deal of work)."

She further said, "Abhi ye joh aap protest kar rahe hain, iska koi matlab hi nahi hain. Itna hi main kahungi, baat karke solve karna chahiye. Chaatron ko aap involve karte hain, bicharo ko gumraah nahi karna chahiye na? Barabar batana chahiye kya problem hain. They should be happy to do something good (Given that, the protests you are staging now make no sense at all. All I would say is that this matter should be resolved through dialogue. Students should be involved in the discussion and should not be misled. They should be properly informed about what the issue is. They should be happy to do something good)."

All about the CJP protest

The CJP had called for a march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament to demand education reforms and seek the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination.

The protests intensified after Sonam Wangchuk went on a hunger strike and was forcibly removed by the Delhi Police from the protest site at Jantar Mantar in the early hours of July 18. Several celebrities, including Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj, later joined the protest.

The CJP-led protests in Delhi turned violent after the police resorted to a lathi charge and used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Following the incident, several Bollywood celebrities raised their voices, condemning the police action.
