Delhi’s Jantar Mantar has become the main spot for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests. This youth movement, started after big exam scandals like NEET paper leaks, keeps growing as students and supporters demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Why They Are Protesting
The anger began with repeated problems in competitive exams – paper leaks, technical glitches, and unfair results that ruined many students futures. CJP wants big reforms in the education system, justice for affected families, and better accountability from the government. Activist Sonam Wangchuk is still on hunger strike for many days now.
Latest Updates
Thousands of protesters, mostly young people, are still camping at Jantar Mantar. New groups arrived this week, many after long travels. On July 22 evening, clashes happened near the site when some threw stones at police. Officers used tear gas and lathis. Several police including ACPs got injured, and protesters also reported hurt.
Police say no permission was given for march to Parliament, but CJP leaders like Abhijeet Dipke and Saurav Das say they will not stop until demands are met. They promise to keep it peaceful.
Opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi showed support, while government called it political drama. Memes about “cockroaches” are everywhere online, showing the protesters spirit.
What Happens Next
The movement is still going strong with heavy security around. Delhi Metro stations nearby are closed. Legal cases about police action also filed in court. Many see this as sign of deep frustration among India’s youth.
Protests like this remind us how important education system is. We will keep watching the situation. Stay safe everyone. CJP Protests Continue Strong at Jantar Mantar: Youth Demand Change (July 23, 2026 Update)
