Amid the Cockroach Janata Party's first protest in India, founder Abhijeet Dipke shared a video from Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, showcasing a massive crowd demanding the resignation of union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The protest was called for amid the row over NEET paper leak and irregularities in the CBSE Class 12 results. Activist Sonam Wangchuk also joined the agitation, with CJP spokesperson Saurav Das sharing a photograph from the protest site.
Dipke, who arrived in New Delhi earlier on Saturday from the United States, has threatened a pan-India agitation if Pradhan does not resign by 5 pm today.
The CJP outfit was formed as a satirical reaction to remarks made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during a court hearing last month.
Among those gathered at the protest site were students, competitive exam aspirants and parents, with several raising concerns over the education system.
However, six people were detained from Jantar Mantar amid the protest to prevent a potential confrontation between two groups.
