"Cockroach" movement forces Union Education Minister Pradhan to resign
On Saturday, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned after the "cockroach" movement began when Chief Justice Surya Kant used the term during a hearing. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), capitalized on this, turning it into a nationwide protest that gained 26.3 million Instagram followers. The movement, supported by student groups and public figures like Sonam Wangchuk, saw protests in multiple cities and online campaigns against police actions, leading to Pradhan's resignation but leaving its future uncertain.
