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.

Times of IndiaNeodvisenProgresivnoDejstva 98Objektivnost 88pred 5 dneviAbhijeet Dipke, ustanovitelj stranke Cockroach Janata, je poročal, da je Sonam Wangchuk, ki je že šest dni na gladovni stavki, izgubil več kot 5 kilogramov in še naprej doživlja upadanje krvnega tlaka in ravni sladkorja v krvi. Wangchuk je protestiral proti ministru za izobraževanje Dharmendri Pradhanu in zahteval njegovo odstop zaradi domnevnih nepravilnosti v preizkusnem sistemu, zlasti v zvezi z NEET.
Ocena pristranskosti (Progresivno): V članku je stavka lakote predstavljena kot moralno in etično stališče za izobraževalno reformo, s poudarkom na osebni žrtvovanju Wangčuka in vpletenosti levičarskih osebnosti, kot so CPI, CPI in AISA.
Zakaj te ocene (Dejstva 98 · Objektivnost 88): Very accurate with detailed health metrics and quotes from Dipke. The objectivity is strong but slightly biased in favor of the protest narrative through Dipke's direct appeals for support.
The HinduNeodvisenProgresivnoDejstva 98Objektivnost 87pred 4 dnevi5. julija 2026 je podnebni aktivist Sonam Wangchuk, ki je vodil gladovno stavko kot del protesta Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), vstopil v 16. dan, kar je pomenilo osmi dan njegovega posta. Protest, ki je bil osredotočen na obtožbe o nepravilnostih v izpitu in zahtevah za odstop ministra za izobraževanje Dharmendra Pradhan, je Wangchuk izgubil približno šest kilogramov. Zdravniška poročila so pokazala, da so bili njegovi vitalni znaki stabilni, vendar so opazili znatno izgubo teže. CJP je poudaril primer aspirantke NEET Riya Kumari Thapa, katere družina je trdila, da je umrla zaradi vpliva domnevnih uhajanja papirjev, čeprav ta trditev ostaja nepreverjena.
Ocena pristranskosti (Progresivno): V članku je protest označen kot legitimna zahteva za odgovornost vlade in poudarjena osebna tragedija študenta, ki naj bi bil prizadet zaradi izpitnih nepravilnosti.
Zakaj te ocene (Dejstva 98 · Objektivnost 87): Extremely accurate with detailed health metrics and the open letter to Modi. The objectivity is high but slightly influenced by the protest's framing of the situation.
Scroll.inNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 97Objektivnost 89pred 6 dneviV članku se razpravlja o protestni skupini, znani kot "Cockroach Janta Party", ki je od 20. junija na Jantar Mantar v Delhiju organizirala sit-in. Skupino sestavljajo predvsem mladi prostovoljci, kot je Vivek Kumar, 19-letnik, ki gibanje opisuje kot "družino" in ne kot tradicionalno politično stranko.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): Članek predstavlja stališče protestnikov, ne da bi očitno naklonil eni strani, vključuje neposredne citate udeležencev in opisuje njihove pritožbe glede vladnih ukrepov, obenem pa ohranja nevtralen ton pri opisovanju situacije.
Zakaj te ocene (Dejstva 97 · Objektivnost 89): Very factual with precise health data and quotes from Dipke. The objectivity is strong, though the focus on the protest's demands may subtly favor the movement's viewpoint.
