Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke returns to India and leads demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6, calling for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. According to reports, Dipke addresses supporters—including students—urging them to join what the party describes as a peaceful, “constitutional” protest. The CJP says it is protesting alleged irregularities and failures connected to competitive and school examinations, and it links its campaign to broader concerns about examination scams. Dipke’s public calls for participation are made through Instagram videos, including appeals to students and youth. He also says the protest will continue until Pradhan resigns and that the agitation will expand to other locations. One outlet reports that the New Delhi gathering drew around 7,000 participants. Separate coverage also describes the party planning or joining protests in other cities as part of a nationwide campaign tied to the same resignation demand and education-related allegations.
