Students, parents and young professionals gathered at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday for the first major street protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement that began online. The protesters demanded accountability over alleged irregularities in examinations and recruitment tests and sought the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Wearing cockroach masks and carrying books, flowers and the national flag, participants called for greater transparency in exams such as NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC. Activist Sonam Wangchuk backed the protest and urged participants to remain peaceful. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke also appealed for non-violence as heavy security was deployed across the national capital. (PC: India Today)
