The students in Mumbai, who are part of the CJP protests, have held the spirit of the Norway team at this year's World Cup close to their hearts. It seems like they were influenced by the team's iconic Viking Row, so they decided to incorporate it as a way to raise their voice.
The Norway fans used the Viking Row during the tournament as a way to show their solidarity towards the team. Soon enough, players like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard joined and had the entire team perform it with the fans after wins.
CJP Protests at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi: UPDATES
While Norway's campaign ended in the quarterfinals with a loss to England, the spirit of the Viking Row continues to live on
In a video circulating on social media, students were seen battling the rainy conditions to make their feelings felt and use the celebration. But there was a twist to it.
Usually, the participants shout 'row' during the routine but this time the students decided to replace it with 'resign' instead.

WHY ARE THE STUDENTS PROTESTING
The protests, organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), were sparked by allegations surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. What began as a student-led demonstration has since grown into a nationwide campaign calling for sweeping changes to India's examination system, with participants demanding greater transparency and accountability.
Among the key demands raised by the protesters are stronger measures to prevent question paper leaks, structural reforms to the examination process, financial relief for affected aspirants, and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The movement first took shape at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on June 20 before reaching a major flashpoint during the 'Chalo Sansad' march on July 20. Thousands of students attempted to head towards Parliament, but were stopped by police, leading to clashes that triggered widespread criticism and intensified the agitation.
The campaign has since expanded beyond the national capital, with demonstrations reported across Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Goa and Rajasthan. Social activist Sonam Wangchuk later joined the movement and launched an indefinite hunger strike in solidarity with the students. Although protest organisers appealed to him to end his fast, Wangchuk has insisted he will continue until authorities guarantee that demonstrators will not face any retaliatory action.
