Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns after a 36-day youth-led protest. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, thanks Chief Justice Surya Kant for remarks he says helped fuel the movement. The resignation comes as protesters mark what they describe as their victory, with the government accepting remaining demands after the agitation. Reported concessions include compensation for families affected by the unrest and withdrawal of FIRs tied to the protests. NDTV characterizes the campaign as a people’s movement that grows beyond its original founders, highlighting how the protest expands in scope and momentum over the 36 days. Times of India reports Dipke’s message to the Chief Justice from Jantar Mantar shortly after Pradhan’s resignation. Together, the accounts describe a sequence in which judicial comments are linked—by organizers—to intensifying public pressure, culminating in the minister’s resignation and acceptance of key demands by the government. The resignation is presented by sources as a major political development tied to the outcome of the protest cycle.
