Jantar Mantar Sees Massive Protest
New Delhi: A demonstration led by Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the online movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, drawing a large number of young supporters. The protest focused on alleged irregularities in examinations and recruitment processes, with participants demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The gathering took place under strict security arrangements as police personnel were deployed across the area to maintain order. Despite the presence of security forces, the protest remained active, with slogans raised throughout the event.
Addressing the crowd, Dipke criticised what he described as attempts to silence the movement online. He alleged that instead of responding to their demands, attention had been directed toward removing social media content and restricting online activity linked to the group.
He said the movement had been active for over a month, insisting that the focus of authorities should be on addressing the concerns raised rather than targeting digital platforms associated with the campaign.
In a strongly worded address, Dipke told supporters that the movement could not be suppressed through digital actions alone. His remarks were met with loud support from the gathered crowd, which echoed slogans backing the protest’s demands.
He emphasised that the group’s campaign would continue despite restrictions, framing it as a long-term struggle centered on transparency in examinations and recruitment processes.
The protest concluded without any reported violence, though the situation remained closely monitored by security personnel. Authorities have not issued an official response to the allegations made during the gathering, and the matter continues to draw attention in political and student circles.
