Several opposition leaders including NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal visited the Cockroach Janta Party’s protest site at Jantar Mantar here on Tuesday, a day after the police crackdown on its ‘Sansad Chalo’ march, and extended support to the agitation over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.
Pawar, accompanied by party MP Supriya Sule, met injured protesters and members of the movement and condemned the police action during Monday’s attempted march to Parliament.
Among other political leaders who visited the protest site were Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs Sanjay Raut and Arvind Sawant, Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Maji, AAP leader Gopal Rai, Kerala Congress (M) leader Jose K Mani, and a delegation of parliamentarians from Left parties.
