New Delhi, June 6: Members and supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement that gained prominence through social media campaigns, are expected to gather at Jantar Mantar in Delhi today for a protest focused on education-related issues. The demonstration is being led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and is centered on demands for accountability over recent examination controversies, including concerns raised around national entrance and recruitment exams.
What Is the Protest About?
The CJP has said the protest is aimed at highlighting alleged failures in the education system and examination process. One of its key demands is the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The group has linked its campaign to concerns surrounding examination management, student grievances, and calls for broader education reforms.
The movement, which began as an online campaign, has attracted significant attention among young people and students. Organisers have repeatedly stated that the protest is intended to remain peaceful and focused on democratic expression.

Organisers also urged participants not to respond to provocation and to follow a non-violent approach throughout the gathering.

The planned demonstration has also received support from some activists and public personalities, adding to its visibility ahead of today's event.
