The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced a series of multi-city protests beginning June 11, demanding the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protests will start in Pune and subsequently spread to other major cities including Lucknow, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Jaipur, and Hyderabad.
Protest Schedule
The CJP's nationwide agitation will commence in Pune on June 11. Following the initial protest, demonstrations are planned in Lucknow, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Jaipur, and Hyderabad. The party has not disclosed the exact dates for each city but confirmed that protests will be held consecutively across these locations.
Background of the Demand
The Cockroach Janta Party, a fringe political group, has been vocal in its criticism of Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing him of failing to address key educational issues. The party claims that Pradhan's tenure has been marred by controversies, including the alleged NEET paper leak and other irregularities in the education sector. The CJP asserts that his resignation is necessary to restore public trust in the system.
Key Demands:
- Immediate resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan from the Union Cabinet.
- Formation of a high-level committee to investigate the NEET paper leak.
- Implementation of stricter measures to prevent future exam irregularities.
Response from Authorities
As of now, there has been no official response from Minister Pradhan or the government regarding the CJP's demands. The party has stated that if their demands are not met, they will escalate the protests to include a march on Parliament during the upcoming monsoon session.
The CJP's protest plans come amid growing scrutiny of the education ministry's handling of various issues. The party hopes to garner public support and pressure the government into action. Further updates on the protest schedule and participation are expected in the coming days.
