Our peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar showed the government a trailer of what cockroaches are capable of when we unite.”Highlighting the large number of first-time protesters at the event, he said many participants had never previously taken part in any demonstration but were motivated by frustration over the state of the education system.”Most people who joined us yesterday had never participated in a protest before. But they felt emboldened by our collective presence to express their sheer anger and frustration at the education system. Change cannot happen if we don’t make our voices heard.”Dipke also thanked supporters, including students and schoolchildren, for attending despite the summer heat and stressed that peaceful mobilisation remained the movement’s biggest strength.”I want to thank each and every one of you who braved the hot summer sun, young kids and students included, and proved that a peaceful protest is our greatest strength. The government cannot touch a unified, peaceful movement. Us cockroaches don’t ever need to fear them.”However, he made it clear that the agitation would continue if the Centre failed to act on the group’s demand.”But this doesn’t end here. Dharmendra Pradhan has wronged an entire generation. If he is not removed or does not step down within the next 7 days, we will be forced to continue our protest on the ground.”Dipke also said he would address supporters through an Instagram Live session to discuss the movement’s future plans.The CJP founder returned to his residence in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district on Sunday morning. Speaking to reporters, he claimed that between 6,000 and 7,000 people had attended the Jantar Mantar gathering and said the movement would now expand beyond Delhi.”The protest we staged was successful, as 6,000 to 7,000 people attended it. This agitation will go nationwide. We won’t step back till Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. We will roll out a further action plan to take this agitation nationwide,” Dipke said. The Jantar Mantar protest marked the first major on-ground mobilisation by the Cockroach Janta Party, a movement that began online and rapidly gained traction on social media. Protesters wearing cockroach masks demanded Pradhan’s resignation over alleged irregularities in examinations including NEET, CUET, CBSE and SSC-related processes.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

In a post on X, the party wrote, “Cockroaches showed their strength through peace demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, for destroying our education system. It was a trailer of what is coming next if those responsible for jeopardizing our futures don’t face any accountability.”CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke also suggested that the campaign was far from over, thanking supporters for turning out in large numbers and reiterating that Saturday’s gathering was only the beginning.In a post on X, he wrote: “Going home to see my parents, it’s been more than a year since I last met them. They’ve suffered a lot over the last 15 days and had to leave home because of threats. Will be taking them back to home. FYI, today’s protest was just a trailer. Thank you for showing up in such huge numbers!”In the protest, participants were seen wearing cockroach masks and carrying flowers, called for Pradhan’s resignation over alleged issues linked to examinations and recruitment processes, including NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSC. The demonstration was held under heavy security, with Delhi Police deploying additional personnel across key locations in the capital.Dipke, who arrived in Delhi on Saturday morning, urged supporters to maintain peace and discipline throughout the event. Addressing the gathering, he accused the government of focusing on the movement’s social media activity rather than responding to its demands.The protest also received support from activist Sonam Wangchuk, who attended the demonstration and had earlier said he would undertake a six-week hunger strike if Dipke was arrested.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
