Youth-led CJP to protest June 6, demand minister resignation
A youth-led social media movement is preparing for a significant public demonstration in New Delhi this week, demanding accountability for recent controversies in India's competitive examination system. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a peaceful protest scheduled for June 6, calling for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The protest is being organized by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who stated he will return to India from the United States on the morning of June 6. He has urged supporters to gather at the airport, after which the group plans to proceed to the Parliament Street police station to seek official permission to hold the demonstration at Jantar Mantar, a designated protest site. Dipke has repeatedly emphasized the planned action will be peaceful and constitutional.
The movement's central grievance focuses on alleged irregularities and disruptions in major national examinations, specifically citing the NEET-UG controversy, the cancellation of the CUET exam, and issues surrounding CBSE examinations. Organizers argue these events have caused widespread anxiety among students and eroded confidence in the system.
