Muntashir Criticizes NEET Protest Leadership
There is a big protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi about a leak in the NEET exam.
Many students and famous people like Sonam Wangchuk are protesting to demand changes and accountability.
Lyricist Manoj Muntashir has said he won't join the protest because he thinks it has been taken over by people he doesn't agree with.
He also criticized a joke made about Lord Ram during the protest.
This has brought back memories of the controversy over the movie Adipurush, where Muntashir wrote dialogues that many people didn't like.
The protest has been going on for over a month, and the police have used tear gas and batons to stop the protesters from marching to Parliament.
Manoj Muntashir criticizes NEET protest leadership, claims it has been hijacked by anti-national elements.
Protesters demand resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and compensation for affected students.
Sonam Wangchuk joined an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, lasting 21 days before being hospitalized.
Muntashir's comments revive controversy over Adipurush dialogues, which were widely criticized.
Police used tear gas and batons to disperse protesters attempting to march towards Parliament.
