New Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke announced he will return to India on June 6 to lead a peaceful protest demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities and exam-related controversies affecting students.
Taking to his Instagram and X account, Dipke called on supporters of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and students to join the protest in Delhi. “The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us,” he said.
He also urged CJP supporters to join him at the Delhi airport on June 6. “I will arrive in Delhi on Saturday morning, June 6. Please join me at the airport, and together we will go to the Parliament Street police station to seek permission to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, he said.
He also alleged that examination controversies had affected more than one crore students, including those appearing for NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC GD, leaving them worried about their future. “If the education minister does not resign even after such a massive blunder, it means there is no such thing as accountability left in our country,” Dipke said.
Dipke further said that his family and friends fear that he could be arrested upon reaching India, even though he remained hopeful that the authorities would allow a peaceful and democratic protest. “But I still have hope that our country is a democracy even today, and we will get permission to protest peacefully,” he said.
The CJP, since its inception, has gained traction with many public figures subscribing to it.
