PM's Response Insufficient, Won't Leave Jantar Mantar Until Pradhan Resigns: CJP
The party said fast-track courts will not fix systemic accountability and kept up pressure for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
- On Thursday, the Cockroach Janta Party rejected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposal for fast-track courts, reiterating its demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over repeated exam paper leaks.
- The CJP-led agitation began on June 20, seeking accountability for examination irregularities and education system reforms after the movement evolved from a satirical online platform into a national protest.
- Demands include ₹10 million in financial assistance for families of at least 12 students who died by suicide, alongside dropping cases against peaceful demonstrators and Pradhan's immediate resignation.
- Protests expanded to Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Patna, while officials shut 16 metro stations in New Delhi this week following police clashes with demonstrators firing tear gas and wielding batons.
- CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka alleged the agitation has widened beyond Pradhan to challenge the Centre's leadership, as public anger is increasingly targeting Prime Minister Modi directly over accountability.
