CJP to join Left rally in Kolkata
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and Left student organizations are planning to hold a rally in Kolkata on Friday.
The rally will start at Sealdah and end at Esplanade.
The main demands include the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, a judicial inquiry into police brutality in Delhi, and compensation for families of students who died by suicide after the NEET paper leak.
The CJP initially sought permission for a separate rally but decided to merge it with the Left student organizations' rally after not receiving a response from the police.
The government and police are concerned about the impact on traffic and potential disruption but are not opposed to the rally.
The organizers emphasize that the rally will be peaceful and open to anyone who wants to join.
