cjp-plans-another-jantar-mantar-protest-on-june-20

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has sought permission from Delhi Police to hold a fresh protest at Jantar Mantar on June 20, continuing its campaign against alleged examination irregularities and demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

 

In a statement issued on June 17, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said the organisation had completed all formalities and informed Delhi Police about the proposed demonstration.

 

“We have submitted all details for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar on June 20. The police have said they will respond by tomorrow morning. We are confident that permission will be granted,” Das said.

 

The organisation has also issued a ‘Chalo Dilli’ call to mobilise supporters ahead of the protest.

The planned demonstration follows a protest held at Jantar Mantar on June 6, where CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced that the agitation would continue across multiple states until the Education Minister stepped down. He had also indicated that the organisation would return to the national capital for another sit-in protest.

 

Among those who participated in the June 6 protest was social activist Sonam Wangchuk, who called for peaceful and constructive engagement while raising concerns about accountability in the education system.

 

Addressing the gathering, Wangchuk said the focus should be on ensuring accountability and improving the quality of education. He also highlighted the importance of strengthening village schools and argued that meaningful reforms would gain momentum if public representatives enrolled their children in government schools.

 

The earlier protest was attended by student leaders from the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union and representatives of student organisations including the All India Students' Association (AISA) and the Students' Federation of India (SFI).

 

Emerging from an online campaign, the CJP has been actively raising issues related to alleged examination irregularities, delays in recruitment processes and broader concerns in the education sector. The organisation said the June 20 protest would continue its push for accountability and policy reforms.
