The Jantar Mantar protest gained momentum in New Delhi as members of the Congress Jananayak Party (CJP) demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assurance that the government would investigate the recent paper leak cases. Protesters said students deserve fair examinations and greater accountability. Meanwhile, security remained tight around central Delhi as authorities monitored the gathering.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation closed 16 metro stations to manage security during the demonstration. Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Delhi Gate, and Central Secretariat were among the affected stations. However, passengers could still use interchange facilities at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat. As a result, many commuters faced delays and changed their travel plans. Officials advised passengers to check updates before starting their journey.

During the Jantar Mantar protest, demonstrators raised slogans against repeated paper leak incidents. They urged the government to strengthen examination security and punish those responsible. Protest leaders claimed students have lost trust in the recruitment and examination system. Therefore, they demanded immediate reforms to restore confidence. Police deployed additional personnel to maintain law and order around the protest venue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the public that authorities would conduct a thorough investigation into the paper leak allegations. Government officials stated that agencies would identify those involved and take strict legal action. However, opposition leaders argued that stronger preventive measures were also necessary. They said students expect transparent recruitment processes and timely justice. The issue continues to attract national attention.
The Jantar Mantar protest remained peaceful despite heavy security arrangements. Authorities appealed to citizens to cooperate with traffic and metro advisories. Students and political groups said they would continue their campaign until their demands receive a clear response. The protest has once again highlighted concerns about examination integrity and public accountability. Further developments are expected as the investigation progresses.
