CJP Leader Vows Continued Agitation Until Education Minister Resigns
Youth-led CJP movement escalates demands for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over exam irregularities. Find out about nationwide protest plans!
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has firmly declared that his agitation against alleged irregularities in various examinations will not cease until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan tenders his resignation. Speaking to reporters on Sunday in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Mr. Dipke reiterated the movement's unwavering resolve.
The CJP, a dynamic youth-led online movement, has been at the forefront, demanding accountability for widespread irregularities in significant national examinations and recruitment tests, including NEET, CBSE, CUET, and SSC. This demand culminated in a major protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Saturday, which Mr. Dipke proudly proclaimed a success, drawing an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 participants.
Following the successful demonstration, Mr. Dipke returned to his residence in the MIDC Waluj area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where he was greeted by family. He affirmed that the CJP's fight would now expand nationwide. "We will roll out a further action plan to take this agitation nationwide," he stated, emphasizing that they "won't step back till Dharmendra Pradhan resigns." In light of the ongoing agitation, security around Mr. Dipke's residence has been significantly beefed up, with personnel from the local police station and city police headquarters increasing from 11 to 15.
Government sources indicated that Delhi Police's decision to permit the Jantar Mantar protest was a strategic move to "pacify" burgeoning youth anger, believing that refusing permission could have led to greater confrontation and fueled unrest. CJP spokespersons, including Ashutosh Ranka, have underlined that the removal of the Education Minister is a necessary first step towards undertaking meaningful reforms within the education system.
