On Monday, July 20, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a Chalo Sansad march towards the Parliament House to protest against the NEET paper leak. However, the protests turned violent after students faced a lathi charge and the release of tear gas. Following the incident, several celebrities have come forward to condemn the violence and stand in solidarity with the protests and the students. Actor Swara Bhasker, who has been one of the first celebrities to publicly support the student movement, has now called out the government for reportedly deploying additional CRPF companies in Delhi.
