A satirical political group called the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) organized a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The demonstration was triggered by allegations of irregularities and question paper leaks in national examinations. Hundreds of participants wore cockroach masks and carried placards calling for accountability. CJP founder Abhijit Deep led the protest after arriving from the United States, urging supporters to join peacefully with books and the national flag as symbols of the right to education and equal opportunity.
The movement began after India’s Chief Justice Surya Kant allegedly referred to young government critics as “cockroaches” and “parasites,” sparking outrage among youth on social media and the streets. Students at the protest said they wanted transparency and efficiency in exam administration. The controversy intensified after a major medical entrance exam was canceled due to a confirmed paper leak.
CJP spokesperson Bijeta Dahiya cited an Indian Express investigation showing only two convictions in 45 major paper leak cases over two decades. The group vowed to continue its campaign for accountability and the minister’s resignation.
