Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav on Monday joined fellow party MPs in a march from Parliament to Jantar Mantar in support of the ongoing protests over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations. The Opposition leaders expressed solidarity with students and activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been demanding accountability over alleged paper leaks and reforms in the education system.
Addressing the media before the march, Dimple Yadav accused the Centre of refusing to engage with students despite repeated appeals for dialogue. She said the concerns raised by young people across the country were being ignored, leading to growing frustration and mental stress.
“The situation across the country is such that the youth want to voice their concerns, yet the government refuses to listen or engage in dialogue. Students have repeatedly stated this, and Sonam Wangchuk has also urged the government to open a dialogue. However, the government is so rigid and callous that it refuses to heed anyone else’s views,” Dimple Yadav said.
Reiterating her party’s support for the protesting students, she added, “As I have mentioned before, we stand with the students, and we are about to march to Jantar Mantar. I believe the entire process is corrupt, and it is the country’s youth and students who are bearing the brunt of it and suffering immense mental stress.”
The Samajwadi Party’s march came amid heightened security in the national capital on the opening day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session. The demonstration coincided with the Cockroach Janta Party’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ campaign, which has drawn large crowds demanding action over alleged examination irregularities and broader reforms in the education sector.
Delhi Police have deployed heavy security around Parliament and Jantar Mantar, while maintaining that public order will be strictly enforced during the protests.
