The students' movement against NEET paper leak in Delhi is breathing a new life into the opposition. This is being proved by the way the opposition parties, especially the Congress, have seized the issue after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protesters marched towards the Parliament House and tried to siege it on July 20. The opposition is trying to capitalize on this issue from the streets to the Parliament.

After the lathi charge on the students, yesterday i.e. on Tuesday, many Congress MPs including Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi staged a protest outside the PM's residence (Lok Kalyan Marg). During this time, along with Rahul, other leaders including Priyanka, Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal were present. Delhi Police took everyone into custody from there. However, later all the leaders were released.

Congress is adamant on demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. At the same time, today at 10 am, a meeting of India Block will be held in the chamber of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. On the issue of students, Congress will protest across the country by tying black bands on Wednesday. According to the information, Congress is planning a unique protest.

This includes marches, dharna near Gandhiji's statue, wearing black bands or black clothes, playing cards and showing posters etc. Let us tell you that today i.e. Wednesday is the third day of the monsoon session of Parliament. Congress is continuously demanding discussion on the issue of NEET paper leak in Parliament. At the same time, he is also adamant on the resignation of the Education Minister. The last two days of the monsoon session were turbulent.

This protest by Congress amid the monsoon session of Parliament shows the strategy of the opposition. On the other hand, the demonstration of students continues under the banner of CJP at Jantar Mantar. Thousands of students are standing there. At the same time, Sonam Wangchuk is also fasting for the last 25 days on this issue. Yesterday, he was shifted from Safdarjung Hospital to Medanta following the order of Delhi High Court. JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh also met him.
