After 1.5 months of protests, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) claims Prime Minister Narendra Modi has finally acknowledged their demands by promising a fast-track investigation into exam paper leaks.
CJP national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka stated, “It is good that after one and a half months of protests, the Prime Minister has finally taken notice,” but emphasized that the government's measures do not address the root cause of the recurring leaks.3
Ranka reiterated that the protest would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan steps down, asserting, “We will not leave this place until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns,” highlighting the group's unwavering stance.4
The CJP's core demand remains unchanged despite Modi's announcement regarding fast-track courts for paper leak cases, as they believe that merely punishing offenders post-leak will not resolve the systemic issues at hand.
The protests are set to persist as the CJP seeks accountability and reform in the education sector, aiming to ensure that such leaks do not recur in the future.
“CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the group's demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation remains its core condition, calling the fast-track court proposal insufficient. The protests have been ongoing for 1.5 months, with Ranka stating they will continue until Pradhan steps down.”
