CJP holds protest at Jantar Mantar, White Paper puts Kerala’s liabilities at ₹5.07 lakh crore, and more: The Week in Five Charts

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) held a protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam irregularities. The movement, sparked by controversial remarks from the Chief Justice of India, has gained significant traction.
Why it matters
The rise of the CJP reflects growing public frustration with educational governance and judicial rhetoric regarding unemployment.
The Cockroach Janta Party, an online movement that gained pace earlier this year, held a protest in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on Saturday last week (June 6, 2026) calling for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan for lapses in examinations and recruitment tests. Activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest, saying that he would undertake a six-week fast if the CJP’s founder was arrested.
The framing focuses on grassroots protest movements against government institutions, which is a common angle in critical reporting.
