Twinkle Khanna speaks out CJP protests, says she is proud to belong to a country where youth has the courage to dissent
Twinkle Khanna posted a picture of model Rhiya Ahir blocking a police vehicle that carried detained protesters in Mumbai.
Khanna said she is proud to belong to a country where youth have the courage to dissent and brave tear gas and batons.
Rhiya Ahir, a 27-year-old model, became a defining face of the protest at Shivaji Park during CJP demonstrations.
The protests demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leads the movement, adopting the term after Chief Justice Surya Kant referred to youth activists as 'cockroaches'.
