On July 4, 2026, Abhijeet Dipke wrote to PM Modi about the Jantar Mantar protests concerning leaked exam papers and student suicides, questioning the government's inaction and seeking accountability from Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The letter came on the backdrop of the ongoing protest against Jantar Mantar that has gone into the 15th day now while educationist Sonam Wangchuk has gone into his 7th day of indefinite hunger strike.

Questions PM Modi's Silence

In the letter, Dipke questioned PM Modi for how long the government will turn a blind eye to the protesters' demands.

Dipke has mentioned that hunger strikes are the means to put moral pressure on governments and has been disappointed that the Prime Minister had not issued any reaction regarding the hunger strike yet.

As per the letter, the protest is carried out to bring the attention of the government regarding the issue of leakage of examination papers and their repercussions on students in the country.

Raises Concerns Over Student Suicides

This letter states that these regular leaks of exam papers and cancellation of exams have severely impacted the lives of students and their families.

According to Dipke, at the time when the protests commenced on June 20, 11 students had already committed suicide because of the stress from the examinations system. Furthermore, the number had increased to 29 students during the period of the protest.
Dipke called for government assistance for the affected families and improved education system.

Seeks Accountability From Education Minister

Accountability of Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, is one of the major demands stated in the letter.

Dipke accused Dharmendra Pradhan of not taking the moral responsibility for the problems that he believes exist in the education system and appealed to the Prime Minister to make him accountable.
Another demand made in the letter was to engage with the protesters rather than ignoring them.

Alleges Police Action at Protest Site

The letter also makes a mention of a certain incident involving the police at the Jantar Mantar protest location.

Dipke alleged that the police officers had taken out some books from the makeshift library organized by the protesters and had flung them on the muddy roads. According to Dipke, the books of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, and Shaheed Bhagat Singh had been taken away. The letter demands that action be taken against the concerned police officials and that they be suspended.

Dipke argued that students protesting for a better education system should be allowed to express their concerns peacefully.

He urged the Prime Minister to begin a dialogue with the protesters and respond to what he described as the concerns of India's youth. Concluding the letter, Dipke appealed to Prime Minister Modi to break his silence, listen to the voices of the protesters and ensure accountability within the education system.
