Cockroach Janta Party Protest Updates| Protest Continues Overnight; Dipke Requests Delhiites to Join Protest on Sunday
Protesters demanded Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged exam and recruitment irregularities, while police deployed heavy security and cameras for the gathering, officials said.
- On Saturday, the Cockroach Janta Party staged its second protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, drawing more than 1,000 participants demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities.
- Following an initial June 6 gathering, the youth-led CJP movement has grown as students and job aspirants cite recurring paper leak controversies and systemic examination delays as triggers for collective mobilization.
- Activist Sonam Wangchuk stated, "The system will only change when our elected representatives' children go to the same schools as everyone else's," while police deployed around 270 body-worn cameras to monitor the venue.
- Wangchuk warned he would resume protests if Pradhan does not resign by next week; founder Abhijit Dipke and around 70 supporters remained at the site Saturday evening despite Delhi Police denying overnight permission.
- The Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance defended Wangchuk's participation, clarifying he attended in a personal capacity and that his engagement with national education issues does not undermine Ladakh's regional movement.
