A video shared by IANS shows Poonam Pandey saying, "I am here only and only to support the students. I have come here to fight for their cause. As for the rest, I don't know anything about politics. I am just here for the students. I am just here for those kids who have committed suicide. I am just here to support them. I would like to urge everyone: please do not make this a religious issue, do not make this a political issue. Let this remain an issue about the children. Many children have died."
The CJP, a political-satirical outfit, has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the irregularities and paper leak allegations linked to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET)-UG conducted on May 3.

Meanwhile, Poonam Pandey also added, "I pray for Sonam sir's health. I hope he gets better and stays well. A person not eating food for so many days is concerning. If we don't eat for even one day, our condition becomes difficult. We keep eating throughout the day. That man has not eaten for 21 days. So, I hope he is doing well. I am only here to support the students."
