Actor and politician Rupali Ganguly has weighed in on the ongoing CJP protest at Jantar Mantar, condemning the vandalism reported during the demonstrations and urging students to protest peacefully. However, her statement has sparked a strong backlash online, with several social media users accusing her of overlooking allegations of police action against the protesting students.

Rupali Ganguly's statement

The actress, who joined the BJP in 2024, took to X, formerly Twitter, and penned a long note, sharing her opinion on the protests and putting forth the narrative of the protests being hijacked. She wrote, “Those who take the law into their own hands, vandalize public property, and attack the police cannot be called students. Such actions only weaken a legitimate cause. The demand for justice over paper leaks is valid. Students deserve a fair examination system, accountability, and strong safeguards to ensure that such incidents never happen again. In recent paper leak cases, governments and investigating agencies have launched probes, arrested suspects, and initiated legal action against those allegedly involved.”
