On July 5, 2026, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar entered its 16th day, continuing its demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan due to alleged examination irregularities. The protest, which began on June 20, has drawn significant attention from both the public and political figures. Central to the demonstration is climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 27. As of July 5, Wangchuk has reportedly lost approximately six kilograms in just over a week, according to a medical bulletin issued by his attending physicians. His current vital signs include a blood pressure reading of 112/70 mm Hg in the lying-down position, a heart rate of 72 beats per minute, and a blood sugar level of 67 mg/dL. While his hydration remains adequate and his mental state is stable, the physical toll of the fast is evident in his declining weight.
The CJP has intensified its calls for accountability, citing multiple instances of examination paper leaks that have affected students preparing for crucial tests like the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). These leaks, particularly the one that forced the cancellation of the May 3 NEET exam, have reportedly caused severe distress among students and their families. One such case involves Riya Kumari Thapa, an NEET aspirant who, according to the CJP, succumbed to the pressures of the alleged paper leak. Her father, an Army veteran, joined the protest on July 5, appealing for justice and urging the government to prevent similar tragedies.
The protest has received support from various political entities and civil society groups. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a prominent farmers' organization, plans to send a delegation to Jantar Mantar on July 7. Earlier, the SKM had expressed solidarity with the students, emphasizing the importance of a transparent and fair examination system. Additionally, members of the Left-affiliated All India Students' Association (AISA) have been conducting their own indefinite hunger strike at the protest site. Among them, Danish Ali, the joint secretary of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU), was hospitalized on July 4 after her blood sugar level dropped to 46 mg/dL on the seventh day of her fast. Other AISA members, including Neha, Manish, Hrishikesh, Deepak Kumar Verma, and Aameen, continue their strike alongside Wangchuk and other protesters.
Political leaders have also voiced their support for the protest. AAP MP Sanjay Singh criticized the BJP government for ignoring the students' plight and questioned why BJP leaders had not visited the protest site. He warned that if the government did not address the issue, the opposition would block Parliament proceedings. Similarly, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas described the agitation as a nationwide struggle to protect the future of young people, accusing the government of being insensitive and irresponsible.
The CJP, founded by Abhijeet Dipke, has grown significantly since its inception. Initially a satirical online movement sparked by comments from the Chief Justice of India comparing some unemployed youths and activists to "cockroaches" and "parasites," the group evolved into a serious political force. The movement gained momentum after the NEET paper leak incident, leading to widespread protests. Dipke, who returned to India from the United States, quickly became a central figure in the demonstrations, addressing crowds at Jantar Mantar shortly after landing in New Delhi.
Despite the growing influence of the CJP, Dipke faced criticism for consuming food while Wangchuk was on his hunger strike. Videos of Dipke eating bread pakodas and noodles went viral on social media, prompting mockery and questions about the consistency of the protest leadership. In response, Dipke clarified that the footage was taken before Wangchuk joined the protest and emphasized that the core organizing team chose not to participate in the hunger strike to ensure the protest's continuity. He also expressed concern over Wangchuk's health, stating that he had advised the activist to end the fast but was ignored.
The CJP has also released an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to address the ongoing situation and hold Pradhan accountable for the alleged examination paper leaks. The letter highlighted the lack of government response despite 15 days of sustained protests and emphasized the moral pressure exerted by Wangchuk's hunger strike. The CJP further pointed out that Delhi Police had allegedly assaulted students and thrown books, including those on historical figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, B.R. Ambedkar, and Bhagat Singh, during an attempt to establish a library at the protest site.
As the protest continues, the focus remains on the government's response to the demands for accountability. With Wangchuk's health deteriorating and the number of participants increasing, the situation at Jantar Mantar remains tense. Political leaders and civil society members are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of this unfolding crisis, as the nation watches closely for any developments that might lead to a resolution.

Prosvjedi, koji su počeli 6. lipnja, zahtijevaju ostavku Pradhan zbog navodnog lošeg upravljanja u natjecateljskim ispitima. Osnivač stranke Abhijeet Dipke optužio je policiju u Delhiju da je prekinula sanitarne uređaje i da nije osigurala osnovne pogodnosti tijekom štrajka glađu. Također je izvijestio da su voditelji poljoprivrednika iz Utar Pradeša, Harjane i Punjaba stavljeni u kućni pritvor kako bi ograničili njihovo sudjelovanje u prosvjedu. Pokret je nastao nakon što je glavni sudac Kant Surya iznio kontroverzne primjedbe uspoređujući nezaposlene mlade sa 'štraka', što je dovelo do široke podrške na internetu i preko 22 milijuna sljedbenika na Instagramu.

India TodayNeovisanProgresivnojučerAktivist Sonam Wangchuk, koji je na neodređenom štrajku glađu na Jantar Mantar u New Delhiju već 10 dana, postao je središte online kritike nakon što su se pojavili videozapisi u kojima se vidi osnivač CJP-a Abhijeet Dipke kako jede kruh pakode i rezance na mjestu prosvjeda. Kritičari su se pitali zašto je Dipke nastavio jesti dok je Wangchuk postao, a neki su se rugali kontrastu. Kao odgovor, Dipke je tvrdio da su videozapisi izvani iz konteksta i izjavio da je glavni tim stranke namjerno izbjegavao sudjelovanje u štrajku glađu kako bi osigurao nastavak prosvjeda.
