CJP Protests at Jantar Mantar Demand Education Minister Pradhan's Resignation Over NEET Issues
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by Abhijeet Dipke, has been protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar since June 20, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over alleged NEET-UG exam irregularities and related student suicides. On Pradhan's birthday, Dipke sarcastically offered a resignation letter as a gift, urging him to sign it. Despite government warnings to vacate, the protest continues, with Dipke criticizing the administration's handling of the issue and calling for accountability. The government has not formally responded to these demands.
