The CJP, which has gained 22 million Instagram followers since its launch in May 2026 , has spearheaded widespread youth protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam paper leaks that forced over 2.2 million students to retake medical entrance exams .

Paid PR Claims Amid Rising Tensions

According to the protester's allegations, the Indian government and army are using financial incentives to produce propaganda content amid a backdrop of political and social unrest.

These accusations surface as the Indian government is also accused of using propaganda tactics against Pakistan by fabricating "fake stories" and creating a media circus to shift blame for its own military failures. Meanwhile, Indian civilian and military leadership have also resorted to pressuring tech platforms to remove "anti-India content" and discredit the "false narratives" spread by Pakistan.

Government Response to Protests

The allegations come amid escalating tensions between India's youth protesters and state authorities. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was on a 21-day hunger strike in solidarity with CJP's demands, was forcibly moved to a hospital by Delhi police on Saturday against his will .

The Delhi High Court had ordered officials to monitor Wangchuk's health and intervene if necessary . However, Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J. Angmo, accused the government of "illegal detention" disguised as medical care, stating that "with around 30 police personnel stationed on our floor and well over 100 across the hospital, our movement is severely restricted" .

Planned March to Parliament

The CJP has called for a march to Parliament on July 20, describing it as India's "second freedom movement" . Delhi Police has stated that "no permission has been sought or granted for any protest march/procession" . The protestors have vowed to maintain non-violence, drawing comparisons to the Citizenship Amendment Act protests of 2020
