6. It further appealed to supporters to avoid engaging with trolls, provocateurs, or individuals seeking to disrupt the movement, stressing that its strength lies in peaceful and democratic participation.

“The response we have received from citizens across the country has been overwhelming. A huge number of people have expressed their support for this movement and have volunteered to come to the airport. The scale of support is beyond our imagination and reflects the growing public concern over the state of education in the country and the widespread demand for accountability from Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan,” it said in a statement.

It added,“As law-abiding citizens committed to peaceful and democratic protest, we do not wish to cause any inconvenience to travellers, airport authorities, security personnel, and the general public. In light of the unprecedented number of people who want to participate in the protest, we have decided not to call on supporters to gather at the airport.”

Dipke, a native of Santuk Pimpri village in Maharashtra's Hingoli district, recently completed a master's degree in public relations in Boston, United States.

Earlier this week, he announced that he would return to India on 6 June to launch a peaceful protest demanding the resignation of Pradhan over alleged lapses in the conduct of examinations.

Dipke, in a video message, claimed that a series of examination-related controversies and disruptions had created uncertainty and anxiety among students, and called on the government to be held accountable.

The CJP, a youth-led movement founded by Dipke and driven largely through social media, has attracted growing attention since its launch last month, drawing support from several public figures.

Speaking about Dipke's planned protest, his friend Usman Shaikh, a resident of Santuk Pimpri village, said he hoped the demonstration would remain peaceful.

''Although Abhijeet did not live in the village much, we used to spend time together whenever he came here during vacations. He has called for an agitation for a cause. As a friend, I expect that the agitation should go off peacefully and the government should also co-operate," PTI quoted him as saying.

Vijay Puri, the sarpanch of Santuk Pimpri and a relative of Dipke, said the agitation was being organised to raise issues that have impacted people across the country.

"He (Dipke) launched a movement as a reaction to a statement. As far as the agitation is concerned, the government should co-operate with the protesters and the latter should also follow the rules and regulations," he stated.

"The issue that he has raised and the movement that he has started is an expression of his anger. Whether he speaks about or criticises any political party is a different matter. The issue he is speaking about now is of national importance. The government should give protection to him. The participants should also ensure that the protest does not go out of track," Puri added.
