CJP ends protest "in good faith" as Pradhan resigns over exam leaks
Exam paper leaks are a serious issue indicating institutional failure.
The Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union education minister amid protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over exam paper leaks, which began on June 6. The government is likely to appoint a new minister tonight or tomorrow morning; however, no frontrunner has emerged yet. A senior Union minister may temporarily take charge of the Ministry of Education. Pradhan cited preventing anti-national forces from exploiting the situation as his reason for stepping down. Hours after his resignation, CJP ended their protest "in good faith" following assurances from the government.
