CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced plans to begin the second phase of protests at Jantar Mantar. Speaking to supporters in Delhi, he said many had inquired on social media about the timing. He stated that the new round would begin shortly. Dipke claimed the group faced challenges booking a venue for a volunteers’ meeting, with several hall owners citing external pressure. The party eventually secured a location, though Dipke alleged the owners received threats afterward. He attributed these actions to the BJP and suggested they reflected concern over young people in the country. Dipke maintained that such measures would not stop the party’s activities. The announcement came weeks after CJP ended a 37-day protest at the site on July 25, following the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das described ongoing demonstrations across India against government performance as the real continuation. He added that the group would soon conduct a nationwide listening tour to collect public input, with a focus on education issues starting from Independence Day. Social media users responded with varied and intense comments to the announcement.
