CJP Protest: Men Stand With Hands On Shoulders To ‘Make’ Women Feel ‘Safe’ At Jantar Mantar; Win Praise

In yet another video from the Delhi protest that is winning people online- a woman praised male protesters around her for trying to “make women feel safe”. Confused? Well, the video showed most men standing with their hands on each other’s shoulders, along with also keeping distance from female protesters despite heavy crowding. Allegedly, the ‘hands on shoulders’ gesture was to avoid accidentally touching women standing around at the protest site. Appreciating the thoughtfulness and respect for women displayed in quite a simple manner, the woman called the men in the video “pookies”.The woman further highlighted that it was her “first time” meeting all the said men, hinting at how they were respecting her safety and personal space despite being

a "stranger" to her.The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led Jantar Mantar protest began over a month ago to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET Paper leak. The protesters also held a march to the Parliament- ‘Chalo Sansad’ march- in New Delhi on Monday, July 20, after which the CJP leaders met BJP's JP Nadda to hand over their demands.Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.Check out the viral post: “Meeting these pookies for the first time btw,” the post read. “A beginners guide to protection,” the video read.
