Cockroach Janta Party Spokespersons Demand Education Minister's Resignation
Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, spokespersons for the Cockroach Janta Party, told NDTV on Wednesday that they are not concerned about their protest being overshadowed or labeled as a 'fixed match.' They stressed peaceful protests and demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and compensation for students who died by suicide after NEET paper leaks. Doctors informed them over 98% of injured police personnel had minor injuries from Monday’s march to Parliament. Sonam Wangchuk will end his hunger strike if the government assures no punitive action against protesters, but protests will continue until demands are met.
