Rapper Hanumankind took part in the Chalo Sansad protest held in New Delhi and issued a public statement. The performer, known for songs such as Big Dawgs and Run It Up, marched with demonstrators at the event. Footage showed the artist wearing an Indian cricket jersey and a face mask. In one clip, he glanced briefly toward the camera before rejoining the group. He posted videos online and commented on police response, noting the moment before tear gas and baton use began. He later shared additional clips of officers deploying gas and batons at several sites. He stated there was no justification for such measures against participants and that seeking better conditions is not a crime. He also reposted a message highlighting two contrasting aspects of the demonstrations. His involvement increased attention to the protest among younger viewers nationwide. Several film industry figures attended or voiced support, including actors at Jantar Mantar and others who posted online messages. The movement, backed by activist Sonam Wangchuk and organized by the Cockroach Janta Party, drew students seeking education reforms. Key demands include an inquiry into NEET exam issues, greater oversight of entrance tests, structural changes for fairness, and the resignation of the Union Education Minister. Wangchuk, who began an indefinite hunger strike, has called for talks between officials and student representatives.
