The sit-in, which began on Saturday afternoon, continued overnight with protesters staying at the site under police deployment.

Some people were seen distributing food and drinking water to those participating in the agitation through the night.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday announced that the protest would continue on Monday and appealed to farmer unions and members of the public to join the movement.

The protest site witnessed sloganeering, speeches and cultural performances on Sunday, with supporters clapping, playing daflis (dafs) and singing patriotic songs. By evening, over 200 people gathered at the venue, according to organisers.

Dipke has demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging a lack of accountability over the examination controversy.
