In a post on social media platform X, Rijiju expressed pride in India while strongly condemning those he described as prioritising personal gain over national interest. Without naming anyone directly, he wrote, “I am very proud to live in India but I am ashamed of those selfish people who have no morals, who run after money only and defend terrorists, Maoists, and anti-India gangs and criminals.”
Emphasising the strength of democratic principles, the Union Minister stated that India upholds open debate and the right to dissent without fear of censorship. However, he asserted that such freedoms cannot extend to supporting elements allegedly working against national interests. He said, “The beauty of our Indian democracy is open debate and the right to dissent without fear of censorship. The only qualification is not to support those elements actively seeking to harm and undermine India’s uncompromising sovereignty, internal stability, and our economic growth.”
Earlier, on May 23, Rijiju had also criticised groups allegedly seeking validation from foreign-linked networks, stating that he sympathised with individuals who look for followers from Pakistan and what he referred to as the George Soros network, adding that India’s youth population is sufficient and does not require external validation.
Meanwhile, the Coakroach Janta Party, also referred to as CJP, has announced that its founder Abhijeet Dipke is set to return to India on June 6 to lead a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The demonstration seeks the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid continuing concerns over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.
According to a post shared on X by the user “Coackroach is Back,” the announcement stated that the CJP founder would return to the country on June 6 for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of the Education Minister.
The proposed protest comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding the NEET-UG examination process, including allegations of paper leaks, administrative failures, and delays in examination conduct. The NEET-UG examination has been rescheduled for June 21, while the Central Bureau of Investigation continues its inquiry into the alleged paper leak case.
The investigation has already led to multiple arrests. Senior officials, including Central Bureau of Investigation Director Praveen Sood and National Testing Agency Director General Abhishek Singh, recently briefed a Parliamentary Standing Committee on the progress of the investigation.
The developments highlight intensifying political and administrative scrutiny over both public discourse on national security and the integrity of India’s competitive examination system, underscoring growing tensions between political narratives, governance accountability, and public trust.
