Meanwhile, "What we have seen at Jantar Mantar was not the true picture of our next generation. I don't object to agitating about your demands you have every right to do that. But the other part of it shows the cultural heritage of yours, ethos of yours, sanskar of yours," he shared.
Notably, "Was there any real need to come on the streets and use the filthy language against the leaders of our country," he asked.
As per the latest buzz, The Cockroach Janta Party held a 36-day protest in Jantar Mantar from June 20 demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over irregularities in the exam system and the NEET paper leak.
