The Cockroach Janta Party on Monday called for a peaceful march from India Gate to the Delhi Police headquarters on September 5, saying the Union government had failed to “honour its July 25 commitments” that led the political campaign to call off its protest at Jantar Mantar.The protests against alleged mismanagement of several competitive examinations began on June 6, when the Cockroach Janta Party held a demonstration at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union education minister at the time.On July 20, thousands joined the protest. This came two days after the police forcibly took activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on a hunger strike for three weeks, to hospital.The protesters’ march to Parliament was met with a crackdown by police. Dozens were injured as the police used lathis and fired tear gas shells and pellet guns at the demonstrators. The police action turbocharged the agitation, which spread to other parts of the country. Pradhan resigned as the education minister on July 25.After his resignation, the political campaign called off the protests, saying that the government had accepted all its demands, including an assurance that “no punitive action would be taken against any protester, either now or in the future” in any state ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party or its National Democratic Alliance.The campaign had also demanded compensation of Rs 1 crore for the family of each aspirant of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test who died by suicide.🚨#BIGANNOUNCEMENT🚨The Cockroach Janta Party calls for a peaceful protest march at India Gate, New Delhi on September 5.The National Working Committee expressed serious doubts over whether the Government of India intends to honour its commitments made to the young generation… pic.twitter.com/XXNIognlmO— Saurav Das (@SauravDassss) August 24, 2026
