The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has announced a fresh round of protests demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination-related controversies, including the NEET-UG paper leak and concerns surrounding the Class 12 on-screen marking system.
Pune Protest to Begin on June 11
After holding a one-day protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on June 6, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has called on supporters to join a new demonstration in Pune.
The protest is expected to take place at the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Statue, Savitribai Phule Pune University, from 4 PM onwards. Dipke has urged supporters to gather in large numbers and raise concerns regarding alleged irregularities in examinations and issues affecting students.
According to the party, educator and activist Sonam Wangchuk is also expected to attend the Pune event.
CJP Expands Movement Across India
In its latest statement, the CJP said it plans to expand its movement beyond Delhi and organize demonstrations in multiple cities, including Pune, Lucknow, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Jaipur, and Hyderabad.
The party claims that alleged examination irregularities have affected thousands of students and families, making accountability a matter of national concern.
Indefinite Sit-In Planned From June 20
The CJP has also warned that if its demand for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation is not met, it will begin an indefinite peaceful sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi from June 20.
According to the party, protesters will continue their demonstration until action is taken and accountability is ensured.
Why Is the Party Demanding Action?
The demand stems from concerns over alleged issues in major examinations, including the NEET-UG controversy and complaints regarding the evaluation process for Class 12 students.
The CJP argues that these alleged incidents have raised serious questions about the credibility and functioning of important examination systems in the country.
Dharmendra Pradhan Assures Students Over NEET Re-Test
Meanwhile, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has assured students that preparations are underway for the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for June 21.
According to reports available in the public domain and statements widely carried by media organizations, Pradhan said that all necessary arrangements are being made to ensure a smooth and error-free examination process.
He also reportedly assured students that results would be declared on time to prevent disruptions to their academic schedules.
The minister is said to have expressed confidence that the re-examination would be conducted successfully and without complications.
Debate Over Examination Reforms Continues
The issue continues to spark discussions among students, parents, educators, and political groups across the country.
While the government has announced corrective measures and reassured students about upcoming examinations, protest groups maintain that stronger accountability and reforms are necessary to restore public trust in the examination system.
