NEET Protests: Tendulkar Joins Calls for Accountability
There is a big protest in Delhi by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding the resignation of the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, because of exam paper leaks.
The protesters say the minister is not doing his job properly and the government's plan to set up fast-track courts is not a real solution.
They want the minister to step down and the government to fix the problems in the education system.
The police are there to keep things calm, but there was some trouble where people threw stones and bottles, and one officer got hurt.
The government says the fast-track courts will punish those responsible for the leaks.
Sachin Tendulkar has also spoken about the protests, emphasizing the importance of hard work and meritocracy.
