Amid backlash, R Madhavan reacts to Jantar Mantar student protest
R Madhavan faced backlash for staying silent on the CJP-led protest demanding education minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET paper leak.
He shared a note supporting reforms and urging strict action, but netizens slammed it as a 'safe play'.
The protest, ongoing since June 6, included Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike and a Chalo Sansad march.
In his note, Madhavan called for a fair, transparent education system and urged the government to swiftly bring those responsible for paper leaks to justice.
