			<title>MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal NEW DELHI: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Sunday termed as &#8220;misleading&#8221; a social media post claiming that ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said there was no foreign funding behind the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led youth protest in Delhi.The CJP stir, followed by demonstrations in other parts of the country, led to the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET (UG) question paper leak and other related issues.&#8221;The post is misleading and misrepresents the statement of the spokesperson,&#8221; the MEA&#8217;s fact-check unit wrote on X, referring to the statement attributed to Jaiswal.It also shared Jaiswal&#8217;s actual response to a query on allegations of foreign funding behind the CJP-led demonstrations.CJP Jantar Mantar Protest UpdatesDharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union education minister amid massive student protests&#8217;We won&#8217;t go&#8217;: CJP&#8217;s Dipke says protests to continue till all demands metFresh clashes at Jantar Mantar after Pradhan&#8217;s exit; tear gas fired, stones pelted&#8221;Madhu, regarding the point you raised about allegations of foreign funding and other such claims in connection with the ongoing protests, I would like to say that I do not have any information on this matter to share with you at this time,&#8221; he replied during a weekly media briefing on Friday.The clarification came in response to a viral post on X claiming that Jaiswal had said, &#8220;I have been asked about the funding of the CJP protest many a time. I want to say that our intelligence &#038; investigation reveals there is no foreign funding in it.&#8221;CJP, an online satirical platform, was formed following a remark by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, in which he described a section of unemployed youth as &#8220;cockroaches.&#8221; The CJI later clarified that he had been misquoted.The allegations of foreign funding have largely been linked to the fact that Abhijit Dipke, who founded the outfit, is a former student of Boston University. Dipke founded CJP in Boston and returned to India in June to lead its demonstrations seeking accountability over the NEET (UG) paper leak in May.The demonstrations peaked on July 20 with the group&#8217;s &#8220;Chalo Sansad&#8221; march to Parliament, where protesters faced police action. The crackdown drew criticism from opposition parties, while the police maintained that the protest had turned violent.The 37-day-long agitation culminated in Pradhan&#8217;s resignation on Saturday afternoon. The CJP called off its stir after the government accepted all its demands.Union minister Pralhad Joshi has been assigned additional charge of Pradhan&#8217;s ministry of human resource development.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Mohammad Ali Jauhar University campus in Rampur. NEW DELHI: Targeting Yogi Adityanath over the proposed demolition of 38 buildings at senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan&#8217;s Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said the Uttar Pradesh chief minister should &#8220;take a lesson from Jantar Mantar.&#8221;The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president was referring to the youth-led protests at Delhi&#8217;s Jantar Mantar, which led to Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan&#8217;s resignation over the alleged NEET (UG) question paper leak and other education-related issues.&#8221;Destroying an institution of learning like Jauhar University displays nothing but hatred and vengeance. Yogi should take a lesson from Jantar Mantar and see how the youth of this country are rejecting the politics of hate and division. CJP Jantar Mantar Protest UpdatesDharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union education minister amid massive student protests&#8217;We won&#8217;t go&#8217;: CJP&#8217;s Dipke says protests to continue till all demands metFresh clashes at Jantar Mantar after Pradhan&#8217;s exit; tear gas fired, stones peltedStand with the protesting students,&#8221; she wrote on X.Mufti was responding to a post by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, who said that the party&#8217;s MPs and MLAs were taking part in a protest by students seeking to &#8220;save&#8221; Jauhar University in Rampur.&#8221;The &#8216;Protect Education&#8217; movement will also triumph! To encourage the students who have sat on a dharna to save Jauhar University in Rampur, our MPs and MLAs are participating,&#8221; Yadav wrote in his post.Questioning the Uttar Pradesh government&#8217;s stand, he asked why the constructions at Jauhar University could not be regularised when similar structures were allegedly regularised through administrative orders.&#8221;If the BJP government can regularise other constructions based on the UP government&#8217;s administrative order, then why not Jauhar University? Why this discrimination and malice against Jauhar University?&#8221; the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister asked.The SP has demanded that the proposed demolition be halted, alleging that the move would adversely impact the future of students.&#8221;Our collective demand is that the BJP should not throw the future of our youth into the fire of its vengeance,&#8221; Yadav stated.The remarks come amid a proposed demolition drive at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University after the Rampur Development Authority (RDA) ordered the removal of 38 allegedly unauthorised buildings on the campus.The RDA issued a notice to the Jauhar Trust, which runs the university, on June 28, alleging that 82,309.80 square metres of construction within the campus had been carried out illegally. According to the authority, 38 blocks were built without approved building maps, while only two structures had received prior permission from the District Panchayat.The authority alleged that the secretary of the Jauhar Trust failed to submit approval documents within the stipulated period. It granted the trust an additional 15 days to remove the 38 structures, warning that demolition proceedings would be initiated if it failed to comply.The demolition order was issued by the RDA vice-chairman, who also serves as the Rampur District Magistrate, under provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>File photo: Opposition &#038; ruling party MPs staged counter-protests &#038; raised slogans against each other outside Parliament on Thursday (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: The Congress-led opposition is set to keep up the pressure on the government in Parliament over the alleged police brutality against students protesting the NEET-UG paper leak, with demands for action against those responsible for the assault and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sources quoted by news agency PTI said on Sunday.The opposition&#8217;s floor strategy, including its stand on the proposed amendment to the anti-paper leak law, will be finalised at a meeting of INDIA bloc leaders in Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge&#8217;s chamber on Monday morning, the sources said.The developments come ahead of what is expected to be a heated debate in Parliament over the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, which has been listed for introduction, consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha on Monday.CJP Jantar Mantar Protest UpdatesDharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union education minister amid massive student protests&#8217;We won&#8217;t go&#8217;: CJP&#8217;s Dipke says protests to continue till all demands metFresh clashes at Jantar Mantar after Pradhan&#8217;s exit; tear gas fired, stones peltedRahul Gandhi seeks answers from Amit ShahAhead of the Parliament session, leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote to Union home minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability for what he described as the &#8220;barbaric assault&#8221; on peacefully protesting students and questioning whether the home minister had authorised the use of &#8220;lethal force&#8221;, including pellet guns.In the letter, the Congress MP said peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy and it is the government&#8217;s responsibility to protect protesters and address their grievances through dialogue.&#8221;Such brutal violence destroys every norm, and has outraged the country. Youth and students, the future of our country, are demanding answers and accountability. Their voice will be heard,&#8221; he wrote.Sharing the letter on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said Gandhi had asked Shah two questions: &#8220;As the Home Minister, did you authorise the use of lethal force, including pellet guns, against students? If not, who granted this authorisation? Are the individuals seen raining blows on students while dressed in plain clothes, police personnel or volunteers? Who authorised their deployment?&#8221;&#8221;The home minister must answer these crucial questions in Parliament tomorrow. The prime minister should apologise to the students,&#8221; Ramesh added.Rahul had earlier alleged that security personnel used pellet guns, tear gas and batons against peaceful protesters during the July 20 march to Parliament.He also referred to 19-year-old student Sahil Lochab, claiming the youth could lose an eye after allegedly being struck by pellets. Delhi Police has denied using pellet guns during the protest, while the CRPF has not responded to the allegation.Opposition to decide stand on anti-paper leak billThe Congress has described education minister Dharmendra Pradhan&#8217;s resignation as a victory for students but has maintained that Prime Minister Modi should also apologise over the alleged police action.Kharge has said it is now the prime minister&#8217;s turn to apologise and take strict action against those responsible for using lathis, batons and pellet guns against protesting students.After Pradhan&#8217;s resignation, Rahul also urged PM Modi to apologise to students &#8220;out of respect for the future of the country&#8221; and for the alleged &#8220;atrocities&#8221; committed during the protests.&#8221;This is not the end. We still await the prime minister&#8217;s apology to our students,&#8221; Ramesh said, reiterating the demand for accountability for those responsible for the alleged excesses.A heated debate on the paper leak issue is likely if the government and opposition can resolve the ongoing deadlock in both Houses of Parliament.The opposition will also decide whether to support the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026.The proposed legislation seeks to tighten punishments for examination-related offences. Individuals involved in paper leaks or other unfair means would face imprisonment ranging from five to 10 years and fines of up to Rs 50 lakh. Organised crimes related to examination fraud would attract a minimum seven-year jail term and fines of up to Rs 10 crore.The existing law prescribes imprisonment of three to five years for cheating-related offences, while organised exam fraud currently attracts five to 10 years in prison and a minimum fine of Rs 1 crore.Asked on Saturday whether the Congress would support the new bill, Rahul said the party would take a decision only after consultations with other opposition parties.&#8221;The Congress party has a central principle. We will decide this during a meeting of opposition parties and a decision will be based on opposition consensus. In Parliament, that is our discipline, and that is our way of functioning,&#8221; he said.The government announced the proposed amendments after student protests over the NEET-UG paper leak intensified across the country. Prime Minister Modi has also promised fast-track courts and stricter punishment for those involved in paper leak cases.The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which spearheaded the agitation, called off its 36-day protest on Saturday after the resignation of the education minister and the government&#8217;s acceptance of its other demands.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed that newly appointed Union education minister Pralhad Joshi&#8217;s is only &#8216;interim&#8217; minister. He alleged that the Centre is searching for a permanent replacement and suggested that Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis could eventually be given the portfolio.Addressing a press conference, Raut said Joshi was better suited to his previous responsibilities and described his current role as interim. &#8220;Pralhad Joshi is currently the interim Education Minister. At best, he might make a good Coal Minister. I believe this is a temporary arrangement, and the government is actively searching for a permanent Education Minister,&#8221; he said.Raut claimed that Fadnavis, because of his educational background and ideological alignment with the RSS, could emerge as the Centre&#8217;s preferred choice. CJP Jantar Mantar Protest UpdatesDharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union education minister amid massive student protests&#8217;We won&#8217;t go&#8217;: CJP&#8217;s Dipke says protests to continue till all demands metFresh clashes at Jantar Mantar after Pradhan&#8217;s exit; tear gas fired, stones pelted&#8221;To my knowledge, Devendra Fadnavis could be the country&#8217;s best Education Minister. Modi ji has also made up his mind about this. He is aligned with RSS ideology, is well educated and has experience in running a state,&#8221; he said.However, he added that the decision was being held up because of uncertainty over who would replace Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister if he were moved to the Union Cabinet.&#8217;Modi govt had to bow down&#8217;Raut also launched a fresh attack on the Centre over the student agitation at Jantar Mantar, alleging that police excesses were committed against protesters and holding Union home minister Amit Shah responsible. He further claimed that the Modi government was forced to accept the protesters&#8217; demands only after sustained pressure from the youth movement.&#8221;The Modi government had to bow down to the power of the youth and accept their demands. Governments should remain humble before the people, but humility and restraint have disappeared from the BJP&#8217;s vocabulary,&#8221; he said.His remarks come a day after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union education minister amid the nationwide agitation over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, following which Pralhad Joshi was given additional charge of the education ministry.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
