The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical political group founded by Abhijeet Dipke, is gearing up for a protest in New Delhi on June 6, 2026. Dipke is returning from Boston specifically to lead this demonstration, which seeks the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged lapses related to examinations. Notably, education reformer and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has expressed his intention to join the protest, contingent on Pradhan's resignation by June 5. In preparation for the event, the Delhi Police have deployed over 1,000 personnel to ensure order. However, police officials have stated that they have not received any request for protest permission from the CJP, raising questions about the legality of the planned demonstration. As the situation develops, the CJP's actions are closely monitored, reflecting the growing tension surrounding educational reforms in India.
