The protest at Jantar Mantar has drawn attention due to involvement of student organizations SFI, AISF and AISA. The demonstration, initially focused on NEET paper leaks, shifted toward opposition to the National Education Policy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Organizers linked to the Cockroach Janata Party meme participated alongside these groups. Reports indicate visits to the Chinese Embassy by SFI leaders Adarsh M. Saji and Aishe Ghosh, along with CPI(M) General Secretary M.A. Baby. The groups have previously attended events connected to the Chinese Communist Party. Questions have been raised about funding for logistics, tents and media efforts during the protest. Allegations also reference past associations of some participants with controversial figures and cases, including those involving Maoist links. Intelligence agencies may examine the embassy visit and any related support. The timing coincides with ongoing border tensions with China.
