Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid CJP-Led NEET Protest
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) led nationwide protests demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET paper leaks and examination irregularities. After weeks of demonstrations and multiple talks with government ministers, Pradhan resigned, which the CJP hailed as a victory but stated the movement would continue until further demands—compensation for families of students who died by suicide, withdrawal of FIRs against protesters, and police accountability—are met. Activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike following government assurances, while security measures intensified around protest sites.
