The CJP called for peaceful nationwide protests on July 24 under the slogan 'Every District. One Day. One Demand.', rejecting the government's offer of talks unless held at a neutral venue.
'Every District, One Demand': CJP Calls Nationwide Protest
The protest just went national. The CJP has asked supporters to demonstrate in every district under one slogan — and turned down the government's invitation to talk unless it happens on neutral ground.
What began at Jantar Mantar has gone country-wide. The Cockroach Janata Party has called for peaceful protests in every district of India, using the slogan "Every District. One Day. One Demand."
The Single Demand
The demand has not changed: the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak and wider examination irregularities.
Peaceful, With Permission
Notably, the party asked participants to secure permission from local police before demonstrating — an attempt to keep the movement lawful after the tear gas and lathi-charges seen in Delhi.
Talks Rejected
The government reached out for a dialogue, with ministers set to meet a CJP delegation. The party rejected the offer in its current form, insisting any talks be held at a neutral venue rather than on the government's terms.

A single-city protest can be contained. A district-level protest across states is much harder to police and much harder to ignore politically. Security was tightened in Delhi and other cities ahead of the day. Coverage at The Tribune.
