The protest is scheduled to take place at Jantar Mantar, a prominent site for demonstrations in the capital.

He emphasized that the protest would strictly adhere to constitutional methods. "The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us," Dipke stated.
