'We Won't Go': CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Says Protest Will Continue Until All Demands Are Met (Videos)

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has said the group's protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar will continue despite the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, asserting that the agitation will end only after all of the protesters' demands are fulfilled.

Addressing supporters after the resignation became public, Dipke described it as an important step but maintained that the movement's objectives extend beyond a change in leadership. He reiterated that the protesters would remain at the demonstration site until the remaining demands receive a satisfactory response from the government. Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns As Education Minister, Says ‘Pained by Last 10 Days’ Events’.

Protests to Continue Despite Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's Resignation, Says CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke

What Demands Remain?

According to CJP, one of its principal demands—the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan—has now been met. However, the organisation says two key demands are still pending, including financial assistance for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide in connection with the examination controversy and broader reforms aimed at improving transparency and accountability in the examination system. Dipke said the protest would continue peacefully while discussions with the Centre move forward.

Government and Protesters Expected to Hold Further Talks

The resignation comes ahead of another round of discussions between government representatives and CJP leaders. Previous talks focused on resolving concerns surrounding alleged examination irregularities and measures to restore confidence in the recruitment and testing process. ‘Victory of Democracy’: Sonam Wangchuk Reacts to Dharmendra Pradhan’s Resignation As Education Minister.

While the Centre has indicated its willingness to engage with protest leaders, no official announcement has yet been made regarding the remaining demands raised by the organisation.

Movement Continues After Weeks of Protests

The CJP-led agitation has been ongoing for several weeks and gained nationwide attention following student demonstrations over alleged paper leaks in competitive examinations. The protests intensified after clashes between demonstrators and police during a march toward Parliament earlier this week, prompting renewed calls for reforms in the examination system.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had undertaken a prolonged hunger strike in support of the movement, ended his fast earlier this week after receiving written assurances from the government on several issues. However, Dipke has made it clear that CJP's protest will continue independently until all outstanding demands are addressed.

What Happens Next?

With the Education Minister's resignation now complete, attention is expected to shift to negotiations between the government and CJP leadership over the remaining demands. Protest organisers have said they intend to continue peaceful demonstrations while awaiting concrete decisions from the Centre.
