The National Students' Union of India staged a "Students' Justice March" towards Jantar Mantar to protest the police action -- including the use of pellet guns -- against students during the July 20 "Sansad Chalo" march, demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the official student wing of the Congress, said its members were stopped at a roundabout before reaching the protest venue. Addressing the gathering before the march, NSUI national president Vinod Jakhar questioned who ordered the alleged police action against students and demanded accountability. NSUI workers said since morning, heavy police deployment was in place outside the NSUI office, with barricades erected on approach roads. Hours after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, the CJP called off its 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar over the NEET issue immediately, declaring that the government had finally accepted all its demands.
