12 NEW DELHI: Congress plans to intensify its agitation on NEET-CBSE controversies over the next fortnight, amid a directive to party members that they should stay focused on issues pertaining to students and youth, without being distracted by plans of Cockroach Janta Party.The announcement of a physical protest by CJP in Delhi on June 6 has raised the antennae in Congress that it could be another “India Against Corruption” strategy of political rivals. Congress strategists and youth organisations have found CJP’s link to a rival, and Congress has told its members the outfit’s actions should be treated with caution. A strategist said, “We are watchful, not worried. The country has been misled once, and it cannot be misled again.”With Rahul Gandhi leading the opposition charge on NEET-CBSE controversies, Youth Congress has hit the streets across cities that are believed to have a resonance on the twin issues.YC chief Uday Bhanu Chib kicked off a nationwide protest in Goa on May 29, and it would cover Maharashtra, Telangana, Assam, Haryana, MP, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Chandigarh, Punjab, and end with Tamil Nadu on June 20. The party’s students’ outfit NSUI too is holding protests across cities. On June 6, when CJP holds the protest, YC would hit the road in Haryana.Congress is still scarred by memories of the Anna Hazare agitation during UPA that led to creation of AAP. “The idea of others is to hype up the ‘Gen Z movement’, and then to project them as aligned with their political party. NEET is just incidental for them,” a Congress member said, adding, “But for us, NEET and demand for the education minister’s resignation are the prime issues.

FIR over ‘separatist’ content day after Iltija shares Geelani’s vid on Urdu SRINAGAR: A day after PDP’s Iltija Mufti posted on X a video featuring late separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani speaking about Urdu, J&K Police on Thursday registered an FIR over the circulation of content “promoting separatist ideology”.The FIR was registered at Cyber PS against “certain individuals” was prompted by credible inputs about “circulation and dissemination of content across digital and social media platforms, promoting separatist ideology and propagating false information, with an intent to incite unlawful activities prejudicial to the peace, sovereignty and integrity of India”, a police statement said.On Wednesday, Iltija posted the video, stating that she “may not concur with Geelani Sahab’s ideology but this old video of him stressing on the importance of Urdu very well makes sense in addition to other reasons. Worth a watch”. In the video, Geelani was heard saying that the youth were being deprived of the Urdu language. He said Urdu carries the region’s religious literature and a substantial body of religious literature “across India, Pakistan and J&K” has been preserved in it. He said being deprived of Urdu means being cut off from this literature. Geelani urged people to learn Urdu, claiming that efforts were underway to undermine the language.Geelani died in September 2021.A senior police officer said the matter came to their notice after the video shared by Iltija was amplified online.“Preliminary inquiry indicates that the circulation of such content is a deliberate attempt to propagate separatist and secessionist narratives through digital platforms. Such activities have the potential to incite public disaffection, disturb public order, and undermine national integration,” the statement said.Prima facie, the information discloses the commission of cognisable offences punishable under various sections of BNS, police said. The statement advised people to refrain from “creating, sharing, or circulating such unlawful content on social media and digital platforms”, warning of strict action against violators.A senior officer said it was an open FIR and more names would be added as the probe proceeds.On Tuesday, Iltija had taken to the streets to protest govt’s proposed move to remove Urdu as a mandatory language from J&K Revenue Service Recruitment Rules, calling it an attack on the region’s linguistic heritage.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosChanakya Today Exit Poll: BJP Sweep In Bengal, DMK Ahead In TN, Assam Favours NDAUS Hands Back 657 Stolen Antiquities Worth Million To India, Exposes Global Smuggling NetworksNaval Anti-ship Missile : Navy, Drdo Demonstrate Salvo Launch That Can Sink ShipsECI Introduces New QR Code Photo ID Rule To Prevent Unauthorised Entry At Counting CentresCCTV Shows Car Plunging Into Gorge In Una, Himachal | Tyre Burst Suspected, 2 KilledDelhi HC Freezes Sunjay Kapur Assets, Restrains Priya Kapur In High-Stakes Inheritance DisputeLet’s Not Choose For People: Supreme Court Pulls Up Centre Over Minor Rape Survivor’s Pregnancy Case’Sonia Gandhi Takes Decisions’: Congress President Kharge On Karnataka CM Change BuzzHafiz Saeed’s Aides Hunted Down: Lashkar-e-Taiba Loses Commanders to Mysterious KillingsRecord Bengal Turnout at 92.9%, SIR Row and Voter Surge Complicate Poll Reading123PhotostoriesFrom opening up about his troubled childhood and growing up in a violent home to facing bullying at school; Sidharth Bhardwaj recalls his traumatic pastThis Indian street food is crowned Prayagraj’s official signature dish8 South Indian dishes among the Top 100 Pancakes in the WorldVirat Kohli: 7 life lessons to learn from the RCB cricketerTV serials with strong woman leads, ‘Naamkaran’, ‘Neema Denzongpa and others- check the list hereHow to make Rajasthani Gatte Ka Pulao for summer dinner5 most crowded national parks in the USA; what travellers should knowGokuldham society’s plot twists that no one saw coming: From Tapu going bald to Babu Ji going to jailAishwarya Rai Bachchan to Deepika Padukone: The real price of Bollywood’s most expensive sarees explainedFrom UK’s Prince Harry to Japan’s Princess Mako: Royals who gave up their titles and wealth for love — Shocking true stories123Hot PicksExit Poll Result 2026Bengal Election 2026Bengal ElectionPM ModiAjay Pal SharmaBengal Poll RecordHimanta Biswa SarmaTop TrendingPune Gas LeakBengaluru Wall CollapseVande Bharat expressDelhi NewsPawan KheraTripura Madhyamik Result 2026CBSE Class 12th ResultMumbai Police DeathBSE AP SSC Class 10th ResultIPL Orange Cap
