Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Thursday urged the central government and protesters to work together to find a "peaceful and amicable resolution" to the ongoing 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar over NEET paper leak irregularities.
In a post on X, Mayawati said the indefinite protest near Parliament had highlighted the severe impact of paper leaks and other irregularities on students and their families. "An indefinite protest led by the 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP) has been underway for several days at Jantar Mantar, near Parliament in the national capital, highlighting the severe impact on students and their families caused by paper leaks and other irregularities in major examinations like NEET," she wrote. Mayawati said the protest had sparked a "massive uproar" extending from the streets to Parliament, adding that its subsequent politicisation had turned it into a direct confrontation with the government. "This protest has sparked a massive uproar extending from the streets to Parliament; its subsequent politicisation has turned it into a direct confrontation with the government--a critical situation the country must resolve, as it is disrupting daily life not only in Delhi but across various states," she said. https://x.com/Mayawati/status/2080169220139348086 Further, the BSP chief said issues such as the "contentious issue of theft of offerings at the Ayodhya Shri Ram Mandir" and paper leaks in national and state-level examinations were fundamentally the result of corruption flourishing at every level. "Whether it is the contentious issue of theft of offerings at the Ayodhya Shri Ram Mandir or the problem of paper leaks in national and state-level examinations, these incidents are fundamentally the result of corruption flourishing at every level," she said. She also described the matter as one concerning "constitutional morality", saying its absence allows corruption to "eat away at the nation like termites". "This is also a matter concerning 'constitutional morality'; its absence allows corruption to eat away at the nation like termites, even though the architect of the Constitution, the revered Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, had strongly emphasised the need to focus on this aspect to ensure good governance," Mayawati said. Mayawati said it would be best if the government and constitutional institutions, including courts, took the initiative to find an amicable solution to the situation in the interest of the country and the public. "In short, it would be best if the government and constitutional institutions, such as the courts, took the initiative to find an amicable solution to the current dire situation affecting the country and the public interest," she said. The BSP chief also criticised various political parties for allegedly politicising the CJP's expanding movement for their "narrow interests", saying it was leading to confrontation and violence from the streets to Parliament. "Furthermore, it is highly inappropriate for various political parties to politicise the CJP's expanding movement for their own narrow interests, leading to confrontation and violence from the streets to Parliament. It is only proper for the government and the protesters to work together to find a peaceful and amicable resolution as soon as possible," she said. BSP chief Mayawati's remarks come as the Centre faces mounting criticism and opposition's nationwide protests over alleged irregularities and NEET-UG examination paper leaks. (ANI)
