Shabana Azmi Joins CJP Protest March

Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj joined a protest march organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi.

The protest is against the NEET paper leaks and demands the resignation of the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

The march was led by CJP's Abhijeet Dipke and Gitanjali Angmo, whose husband, Sonam Wangchuk, is on a hunger strike.

Shabana Azmi urged the media to focus on the protest's cause rather than the absence of Bollywood celebrities.

She also mentioned that she and her husband, Javed Akhtar, wrote to the Prime Minister but received no response.

Other celebrities like Kavita Kaushik and Vidya Malavade also expressed their support for the protesters.

Meanwhile, actors Kangana Ranaut and Hema Malini, who are members of the ruling BJP, criticized the protesters and supported the government.
