Munawar Faruqui says most celebrities spoke on student protests after 25 days: ‘It's disappointing’

Comedian Munawar Faruqui criticized celebrities for staying silent during student protests for 25 days and speaking only after PM Modi addressed the issue and public sentiment shifted.

Faruqui stated that support driven by pressure or public opinion is convenience, not courage, and that earlier voices could have prevented escalation.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protests allege irregularities in the education sector, including NEET exam leaks, with social activist Sonam Wangchuck joining a hunger strike.

Delhi Police detained over 25 students from Delhi University and Jamia Millia Islamia while heading to Jantar Mantar, citing preventive action under the Delhi Police Act.
