Security Forces Lathi-Charge CJP Protestors in Delhi
A large group of people supporting the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) gathered in Delhi to protest against some issues with a medical exam called NEET and to ask for the Education Minister to step down.
The government had said they couldn't have a big protest, but the CJP supporters came anyway.
When they tried to march towards the Parliament building, the police used sticks and batons to stop them.
Some people said tear gas was also used.
Before the protest, the CJP said the government had agreed to talk to them.
The CJP thanked another political party for speaking up about the police using force on the protestors.
Thousands of CJP supporters gathered in Delhi for a protest march to Parliament despite lack of permission.

CJP representatives were en route to meet with Union Minister JP Nadda for talks.
