Delhi's Jantar Mantar witnessed hundreds of people protesting on Saturday, called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to demand the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities and paper leaks in several entrance and recruitment exams.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who flew from the United States to join the demonstration, said that the protestors were not “scared”.
Nitin Nabin, the Bharatiya Janata Party chief, took a veiled jibe at the movement and Dipke, saying that the youth of India was not anyone's “puppet”.
The CJP has given the government a one-week ultimatum to either sack Dharmendra Pradhan or he gives voluntary resignation, or the protest will extend nationwide.
