In Pictures | CJP protest march to Parliament
Supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched toward the Parliament in New Delhi to demand the resignation of the Education Minister following examination irregularities. The protest occurred despite a lack of official permission and heavy security deployment.
Why it matters
The protest highlights growing public dissatisfaction with the management of national examinations like NEET, which is a major point of contention in current Indian politics.
Hundreds of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) gathered in New Delhi on Monday (July 20, 2026) for the “Chalo Sansad” march to the Parliament, seeking the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendhra Pradhan and education reforms. In the background, the Monsoon session of the Parliament began.
The CJP protest, which started in Jantar Mantar on July 6, 2026, galvanised after police forcibly moved activist Sonam Wangchuk --who was on a hunger strike -- to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday (July 18, 2026). Banners, slogans and swelling crowds transformed Jantar Mantar into a packed protest camp on Sunday (July 19, 2026), as CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke’s call for a night vigil drew massive response ahead of the march.
