‘I Spent ₹1 Lakh To Be Here’: Man Claims He Flew From Australia To Join CJP Protest In Delhi | Video
While multiple videos of people travelling from across the country to join Delhi protests have gone viral, one man has certainly taken it to another level. In a video shared on Instagram, an Indian man claimed that he travelled from Australia to Delhi and spent nearly ₹1 lakh on flight tickets just to participate in the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests over the alleged irregularities in the NEET examination.
The claim was made in a video shared on Instagram by content creator Sarthak Goswami. During the interaction, the man showed what he said was his Australian identity card to support his claim that he had flown in from overseas specifically to attend the protest. Introducing him, Goswami said, “This guy came right straight away from Australia just to join this protest. This is not just commitment, this is also financial cost. What made you come here?”
The protester, whose name was Mohd Danish, responded, “Brother, ₹1 lakh ka ticket lekar aaya hoon yahan par sirf protest join karne ke liye (I spent ₹1 lakh on tickets just to join this protest).”
When asked whether he had appeared for the NEET examination or had been directly affected by the alleged paper leak, the man said he had completed a B.Tech degree and had no personal connection to the medical entrance exam.
“Nahi sir, mera B.Tech tha. Mera NEET se koi matlab nahi hai. Sirf ye sarkar bahut zyada tanashahi kar rahi hai is time. Kuch nahi sun rahi hai. Atharah din se koi banda bhook hartal par baitha hua hai. Baat karne ko raazi nahi hain ye log,” he said. To which the interviewer said, “Protest is also a stage. People are protesting for different issues.”
The video had thousands of reactions, mostly from people supporting Danish’s efforts.
The viral clip comes against the backdrop of the CJP’s “Chalo Sansad” march, which coincided with the opening day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session. Thousands of supporters gathered in Delhi demanding accountability over the alleged NEET irregularities and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
According to the CJP, the march began peacefully, with protesters carrying flowers for police personnel as a symbolic gesture. However, the situation later escalated as police used tear gas shells and batons to disperse the crowd, and the party’s protest stage at Jantar Mantar was dismantled.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) plans to resume its march to Parliament on Tuesday. Protesters are continuing their sit-in at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP representatives met with Union minister J.P.
