Jantar Mantar protest LIVE: CJP delegation will meet with government Ministers today, says sources
The Cockroach Janta Party has demanded the removal of the Union Education Minister following examination irregularities, while activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his 26-day hunger strike after government assurances. The political climate remains tense as the government prepares to introduce new anti-paper leak legislation.
Why it matters
These events reflect ongoing political pressure regarding educational integrity and civil activism in India.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has said the “strictest action” the government could take against examination irregularities was to remove Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement that a bill providing for stringent action against paper leaks would be introduced in Parliament.
CJP national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, in response to the prime minister’s remarks, said, “Modi ji, remove Dharmendra Pradhan tomorrow. That’s the strictest action you can take.” CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke also reacted to the Prime Minister’s announcement by taking to X to share an image of a man locking the gate of a compound with no boundary walls, in an apparent swipe at the proposed legislation.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his indefinite hunger strike after the government assured him that his demands would be met.
