The demonstrations over exam paper leaks, student suicides and calls for educational reform, turned up enough heat to force Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as education minister. The CJP then announced it would continue as a pressure group.“Many people were commenting on Instagram when Season 2 of 'Jantar-Mantar' will begin. I want to tell them that Season 2 of 'Jantar-Mantar' is going to start very soon,” Dipke said.‘Pressure from above’ blocked meetingHe also alleged that the party struggled to find a venue for its volunteers’ meet in Delhi, claiming that several hall owners refused to rent space because of “pressure from above”.“We were scheduled to hold our volunteers' meet in Delhi today. We were looking for a hall, but no one would rent us one. Everyone kept saying there was pressure from above," Dipke told reporters.He said the party eventually managed to secure a hall after considerable difficulty and had a receipt to prove the booking. The venue owners were threatened, though, on the morning of the meeting, he said.“We had managed to secure this hall with great difficulty. We even have the receipt for it. However, the owners received threats this morning. They were told that if they allowed the CJP meeting to take place here, they would be hung upside down.”Dipke blamed the BJP for the alleged pressure and said the incident showed that the party was uneasy about the growing youth movement.“All of this is being done by the BJP. Their actions and words clearly reveal that they are afraid of the country's youth. If they think such petty actions will frighten us, they are sorely mistaken.”The allegations could not be independently verified by HT.
