CJP supporter attacked, his father dies; campaign for school reforms continues

On August 13, Abdul Hafeez, a supporter of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), visited his former school in Karisunda, India, as part of the CJP's campaign to audit government schools. Hours later, he and his father were assaulted by alleged BJP workers; his father died two days later. The incident occurred amid the CJP’s push for better education facilities, following their successful ousting of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in July. Despite the violence, Hafeez vowed to continue fighting for school reforms.
