What happened
Thousands of protesters continued gathering at Jantar Mantar and Sansad Marg in Delhi over demands for a fairer entrance-exam system and action on an alleged paper leak. The protest kept attention on student concerns about examination integrity and the state’s response to those concerns.
The Cockroach Janta Party said police had conveyed that Union Minister J. P. Nadda wanted to speak with them, but the group refused to go to his residence. The protesters said any meeting should happen in public at Jantar Mantar or at a neutral venue nearby.
UPSC can frame the issue as a governance problem involving examination fairness, institutional accountability, and the right to protest in a democracy. The dispute also allows questions on how public institutions should respond to allegations of paper leaks while maintaining public order and confidence in recruitment and admission systems.
