Abhijeet Dipke Announces Return to India, Plans Protest at Jantar Mantar Demanding Education Minister’s Resignation

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has announced that he will return to India from the United States on June 6 and lead a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

In a video message posted on X, Dipke said he intends to raise his voice on behalf of students affected by controversies surrounding major examinations, including NEET, CBSE, CUET, and SSC GD.

Referring specifically to the alleged NEET paper leak controversy, Dipke argued that millions of students were affected and that many suffered significant mental stress after months of hard work. He said the Education Minister should take moral responsibility for the crisis and step down from office.

Dipke claimed that more than 10 million students have been impacted by failures in the examination system, creating uncertainty and anxiety about their academic and professional futures.

He urged students and young people across the country to exercise their constitutional rights and demand accountability from the government through peaceful and democratic means.

According to Dipke, after arriving in Delhi, he and his supporters plan to visit Parliament Street Police Station to seek formal permission for a peaceful demonstration at Jantar Mantar.

Emphasizing the non-violent nature of the movement, he said the protest would remain fully within constitutional and democratic boundaries. He also revealed that some family members and friends fear he could face arrest upon returning to India, although he expressed confidence that democratic institutions would allow peaceful dissent.

Dipke further stated that he recently received several job offers in the United States but chose to return to India instead, saying he wanted to contribute to his country and stand up for the future of its youth.

The CJP founder has emerged as a prominent critic of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, particularly following controversies surrounding the NEET examination. As of now, neither the government nor the Education Minister has publicly responded to Dipke’s latest demands.
