Cockroach Janta Party Organises for June 6 Sit‑In as Founder Plans Return to Lead Protest

The youth movement says it will test street mobilisation and demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation after officials were moved and an inquiry was announced.

Overview

  • The Cockroach Janta Party has moved from online mobilisation to on‑the‑ground organising and held its first press conference to name three spokespersons to lead public communications.
  • Founder Abhijeet Dipke said he will return to Delhi on June 6 and will go to the Parliament Street police station to seek permission for a peaceful sit‑in at Jantar Mantar, and he said he is prepared for possible arrest.
  • Education activist Sonam Wangchuk has pledged to join the June 6 demonstration if no meaningful action is taken by June 5, widening the protest’s profile beyond student circles.
  • The central government has transferred the CBSE chair and secretary and set up a one‑member inquiry into alleged exam irregularities, but CJP spokespeople called those moves an 'eyewash' and continue to demand the minister’s resignation.
  • Organisers point to an online petition with about 800,000 signatures and say millions of students have been affected by NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC GD problems, making the protest a potential flashpoint for legal action, larger street turnout, and renewed scrutiny of exam systems.
