What is the CJP protest about?
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination paper leaks and alleged irregularities in recruitment and examination systems.
The protest has drawn students and supporters from across several states, with demonstrators calling for greater transparency and accountability. Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk also extended support by participating through a hunger strike, bringing additional attention to the movement.
