About the Movement
What Happened
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) emerged in 2026 as a youth-led protest movement focused on concerns about India's education system, particularly repeated examination paper leak allegations and demands for greater accountability. The movement has attracted students, educators, professionals, and supporters from multiple states.
The movement gained national attention after activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protests with a hunger strike and after large demonstrations were held in New Delhi and other cities.
Protesters have demanded reforms in public examinations, accountability for alleged irregularities, and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
On 20 July 2026, thousands of students, their families, and CJP activists gathered in Delhi for a planned peaceful march toward Parliament.
Police used barricades, tear gas, and baton charges to prevent protesters from reaching Parliament. Protest organizers stated that more than 1,400 people were injured and alleged that excessive force was used during the operation.
Protesters also alleged that police used lathi charges against demonstrators, including women and some individuals reported to be under the age of 18.
Several women alleged that they were subjected to inappropriate physical contact and that their clothing was torn during the clashes. Videos circulating on social media appear to show some of these incidents.
