“We will not deviate from our issues. No matter how much pressure is put on us, our focus remains on the concerns of more than one crore students who have suffered because of this controversy. The Education Minister must take responsibility,” he said.
Dipke said he remained undeterred by the incident and pledged to continue the movement through peaceful and democratic means.
“Such attacks may continue, but I am not afraid. We follow the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr B.R. Ambedkar. This is our satyagraha and we will continue our struggle peacefully,” he said.
The CJP founder also appealed to students, young people and residents of Nagpur to join the demonstration scheduled for 4 p.m. at Samvidhan Square.
The organisation has been campaigning for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation since the NEET (UG) paper leak controversy surfaced, arguing that accountability must be fixed for alleged irregularities in the examination process.
Authorities have made extensive security arrangements for the protest. Police officials said more than 2,000 young people are expected to participate, prompting enhanced deployment across key locations in the city to maintain law and order.
