Delhis CJP demonstration LIVE In the midst of a furious protest, the government contacts the CJP police crack down, injuring and detaining dozens

Today's major development in the CJP (Cockroach Janta Party) protest in Delhi was a significant escalation during the "Sansad Chalo" march, followed by the first formal outreach from the central government. Thousands of protesters gathered near Parliament despite heavy security arrangements. Delhi Police used barricades, tear gas, and batons to stop marchers who attempted to move toward Parliament, leading to several injuries and detentions. As tensions increased, the government initiated talks with CJP representatives. Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda met a two-member delegation from the protest movement and appealed for the demonstrations to end peacefully. According to protest leaders, the meeting marked the first official dialogue between the government and the movement after weeks of demonstrations.

The protest has been driven by demands for accountability over alleged examination irregularities and broader education reforms. Protesters accused the authorities of using excessive force, while Delhi Police denied allegations of a lathi-charge and said action was taken to maintain law and order after protesters tried to breach security barricades. The unrest also disrupted normal life in central Delhi. Security was tightened around Parliament, several Metro stations were temporarily closed, and traffic restrictions were imposed in parts of the capital. Although the protesters indicated they were willing to continue discussions with the government, they maintained that their key demands for reforms and accountability remain unchanged.
