CJP announces Parliament march on July 20; asks students, parents to join in
The Cockroach Janta Party announced a peaceful march to Parliament on July 20th, led by educator and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike. The youth-led organization is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities. The protest at Jantar Mantar entered its 20th day amid heavy rain, with the Cockroach Janta Party accusing the Delhi Police of preventing them from bringing tarpaulins to the site. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant and veteran CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali have pledged their support for the students' demand, promising to raise the issue in Parliament during the Monsoon Session.
