ISLAMABAD:&nbsp;India&#39;s&nbsp;&quot;Cockroach Party&quot; announced a &ldquo;diaper donation drive&rdquo; as part of its continuing campaign against Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, urging supporters to bring diapers to protest sites, write messages calling for his resignation on them and take part in an event titled, &ldquo;Diaper A Day Keeps Leaks Away&quot;, according to Indian media.&nbsp; The party&#39;s founder, Abijeet Dipke, in his message on X wrote, &ldquo;Bring a diaper, write your demand for his resignation on it, and we&rsquo;ll make sure it reaches the education minister.&rdquo; The protest is aimed at highlighting the group&rsquo;s allegations that the government has failed to address concerns over the integrity of the NEET-UG exams.&nbsp; The examination, taken by millions of students seeking medical college admission, faced controversy after allegations of question paper leaks and irregularities emerged. The Education Ministry and authorities have denied wrongdoing and said investigations were conducted into reported irregularities.&nbsp; The government has said action would be taken against those found responsible.<div class="fr-embed"><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 2;"><iframe id="twitter-widget-1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=2069280070678782021&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmain.d1wrm1qseko1cp.amplifyapp.com%2Farticles%2F&sessionId=3657f152d93892f6c2f258995eb4d034c2c3ad4d&theme=light&widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&width=550px" style="position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 897px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</iframe></div></div> The CJP&rsquo;s latest campaign uses satire and public demonstrations to draw attention to its demand that Pradhan step down. The group said the donated diapers would be delivered as a symbolic message to the minister. Meanwhile, Dipke alleged that Delhi Police attempted to reduce the size of the protest site late on Monday night. &quot;Delhi Police tried to move barricades and squeeze the protest site into a smaller area,&quot; he claimed in a social media post. According to Hindustan Times, earlier, Dipke had also alleged that police were preventing students from joining the protest by asking for Aadhaar cards. Delhi Police denied the claim, calling it &quot;factually incorrect&quot; and stating that no Aadhaar checks were being conducted at the venue.

ISLAMABAD: The Indian government has summoned Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Abhijeet Dipke to appear before an inter-ministerial committee on Wednesday to hear his appeal against the blocking of the party&rsquo;s original account on X, according to Indian media.&nbsp; The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) directed Dipke to be physically present at Electronics Niketan, the ministry&rsquo;s headquarters in New Delhi, on Wednesday, for proceedings related to the account&rsquo;s suspension. The summons comes as Dipke continues a protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.&nbsp; The demonstration, which began on June 20, has entered its fifth day, with Dipke refusing to leave the protest site despite increasing pressure from authorities. The CJP described the government&rsquo;s decision to require Dipke&rsquo;s physical attendance as a &ldquo;fresh escalation&rdquo; in tensions between the party and authorities.&nbsp; Dipke has alleged that protesters have faced repeated disruptions, including prolonged interruptions to food and water access.&nbsp;<div class="fr-embed"><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=2069146790121832877&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmain.d1wrm1qseko1cp.amplifyapp.com%2Farticles%2F&sessionId=3657f152d93892f6c2f258995eb4d034c2c3ad4d&theme=light&widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&width=550px" style="position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 650px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;" data-tweet-id="2069146790121832877"></iframe></div></div>He also claimed that running water to nearby public washrooms had been cut off intermittently during the protest. The government has not publicly commented on the allegations regarding conditions at the protest site. The hearing before the inter-ministerial committee is expected to focus on Dipke&rsquo;s appeal against the blocking of the CJP&rsquo;s original X account, a move the party says has limited its ability to communicate with supporters.

The Indian government summoned CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke to a hearing over the blocking of the party’s X account, amid his ongoing protest in New Delhi demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
