The outrage was aggravated after police action on student protesters on Monday earlier this week, when the CJP was taking out a march to the Parliament to raise its issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Several users on Instagram have made videos and posts, questioning Naimisha&#8217;s education in a foreign country, and urging the resignation of her father from his ministerial post.
