‘Delhi Police attempted to shift barricades’: Dipke’s allegation
The protest site witnessed heightened activity and organisers alleged that Delhi Police attempted to shift barricades to restrict the protest area.
According to the group, the action was aimed at “squeezing the protest space” and limiting the demonstration. It also claimed that authorities prevented a truck from entering the area. CJP said its members remained at the site through the night and resisted what it called efforts to shrink the agitation space. There was no immediate response from the Delhi Police on the allegations.
On Monday, Dipke said the protest remained crowded despite it being a working day and asserted that the agitation would continue through the night. Candles were lit at the venue in memory of students who allegedly died by suicide following the paper-leak controversy.
Addressing protesters, Dipke questioned the response towards students affected by examination issues, saying authorities were “punishing students” while failing to act against those allegedly involved in paper leaks.
Protest to be dedicated to…
The organisation also announced that one day of the protest would be dedicated to UPSC and SSC aspirants, inviting students to share their grievances on stage at Jantar Mantar.
