The CJP protest in Delhi witnessed heightened tensions on July 23, 2026, with clashes between protesters and police on Sansad Marg.The Delhi Police reported injuries to five officers, including two ACPs, during the unrest.

The protest, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, which CJP spokesperson Saurav Das called non-negotiable.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk, on an indefinite fast, claimed the government assured a parliamentary discussion on accountability for paper leaks but insisted on an 'unequivocal assurance' against punitive actions.The government accused the Opposition of politicizing the issue, while CJP criticized ministers like JP Nadda for inadequate responses.The protest remains peaceful, with calls for dialogue and adherence to legal processes.
