Pakistan on Thursday refused to comment on the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests in India, describing the issue as the country’s internal matter.
The response came after Pakistan’s Foreign Office was asked whether the Indian government’s handling of the protests amounted to a human rights issue.
Pakistan Refuses to Comment
Speaking at a media briefing, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said Islamabad would not interfere in India’s domestic affairs.
“This is an internal matter of India. We do not offer comments on such matters,” Andrabi said.
His remarks come as demonstrations linked to the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak continue across the national capital.
CJP Protests Continue for Over a Month
The protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have now entered their 30th day.
Students, parents, activists and several public figures have been gathering at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding accountability over the alleged paper leak.
One of the key demands of the protesters is the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The number of participants has increased significantly since the party organised its ‘Sansad Chalo’ march on July 20.
Police Action During the March
On July 20, clashes were reported between protesters and security personnel during the march toward Parliament.
According to reports, police used lathi charges and tear gas to disperse the crowd after tensions escalated.
The police action drew criticism from several opposition leaders and public figures, while multiple petitions related to the incident have also reached the courts.
PM Modi Announces Fast-Track Courts
Amid the ongoing protests, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a new measure aimed at addressing paper leak cases.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said the government will establish fast-track courts to ensure quick trials and strict punishment for those involved in examination paper leaks.
“Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth. We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks.”
He also said the government has directed the concerned authorities to take all necessary steps to safeguard students’ interests.
According to the Prime Minister, the decision is part of a broader effort to strengthen the integrity of competitive examinations across the country.
NEET Issue Continues to Dominate Public Debate
The alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak has remained a major political and public issue over the past several weeks.
While the government has announced fresh measures to tackle examination fraud, protests demanding accountability continue in the national capital.
The latest statement from Pakistan indicates that Islamabad will not comment further on the developments, maintaining that the matter falls entirely within India’s domestic affairs.
