Arvind Kejriwal addressed ‘Chalo Parliament’ march protesters via video from Punjab, boosting their morale while not physically present. He said, “Friends, I am in Punjab, watching social media updates. Thousands of children have gathered at Connaught Place, Jantar-Mantar, and Janpath. The government uses full force against them. Police are lathi-charging and beating them. Meanwhile, authorities also cut off internet access, preventing them from reaching Parliament. This action is wrong. Youth should express their demands. You destroyed their future. When students protest peacefully, authorities should not attack them. Government must talk directly to the children, not suppress them.”

Children as Citizens: Kejriwal’s Warning to PM Modi
Kejriwal urged Prime Minister Modi to recognize these students as the nation’s children and requested dialogue instead of force. He warned, “Handle children’s anger carefully, or consequences will impact the government. Talk to our children and respect their voice.”
Bhagwant Mann Supports Protesters
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann joined Kejriwal’s appeal, highlighting student dedication. He said, “Many students believe their education will shape their family’s future. They wake early, study for 14 hours, then take NEET exams. Paper leaks destroy their confidence. We stand with all protesters at Jantar-Mantar, supporting education accountability.”
Opposition Voices Parliament Concern
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue in Parliament, demanding answers about lathi-charge on students protesting NEET paper leaks. He criticized the central government, claiming it attempts to silence youth.
