Thousands Protest in Delhi Over Examination Leaks and Education ReformsPreviousNext

Thousands of students, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), protested in Delhi demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over repeated examination paper leaks and calls for education reforms. The protests, marked by clashes with police and tear gas, highlighted broader youth frustrations with the education system and political accountability. While some coverage emphasized police violence and government response, others noted the protests' organized nature and political implications. The movement reflects deep anxieties about fairness, transparency, and the future of India's youth amid ongoing institutional challenges.
