“The response we have received from citizens across the country has been overwhelming. A huge number of people have expressed their support for this movement and volunteered at the airport. The scale of support is beyond our imagination and reflects the growing public concern about the state of education in the country and the widespread demand for accountability from Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan,” it said in a statement.

Due to the unprecedented number of people wishing to participate in the protest, we have decided not to invite supporters to gather at the airport.”

In a video message, Dipke claimed that the series of controversies and disruptions related to the examination had created insecurity and anxiety among students and called on the government to be held accountable.
The CJP, a youth-led movement founded by Dipko and driven largely through social media, has been attracting increasing attention since its inception last month and has received support from several public figures.
Speaking about Dipke’s planned protest, his friend Usman Shaikh, a resident of Santuk Pimpri village, said he hoped the demonstration would remain peaceful.
”Though Abhijeet didn’t live much in the village, we used to spend time together whenever he came here during holidays. He called for agitation for a cause. As a friend, I expect the agitation should be peaceful and the government should also cooperate,” PTI quoted him as saying.
Vijay Puri, sarpanch of Santuk Pimpri and a relative of Dipke, said the agitation was organized to highlight issues affecting people across the country.
“In response to the statement, he (Dipke) started a movement. As far as the agitation is concerned, the government should cooperate with the protesters and they should also follow the rules and regulations,” he said.
“The issue he has raised and the movement he has started is an expression of his anger. Whether he is talking about or criticizing any political party is a different matter. The issue he is talking about now is of national importance. The government should protect him. The participants should also ensure that the protest does not go astray,” added Puri.
