Abhijit Deepke, leader of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has warned that nationwide protests will begin if India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan does not resign by 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2026. Speaking at a rally at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, Deepke announced that demonstrations would be held across multiple cities over the next week, culminating in another major gathering at the same venue the following Saturday.

The protest movement has emerged amid growing public concern over irregularities in examinations and the state of the education system. Demonstrators accuse the minister of repeated failures in the education sector and demand accountability. Earlier, the CJP posted on social media that the minister, paid with taxpayers’ money, had jeopardized the future of millions of young people.

Deepke, who arrived in Delhi from the United States early Saturday, told reporters that the minister must resign, citing student suicides as a sign of crisis. Organizers claimed thousands joined the Jantar Mantar protest, calling for transparency and responsibility in education governance.
