Cockroach Janta Party Protest: Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Tuesday announced that he would join the Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke-led protest at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on June 6, seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination-related lapses.

"IF NOT US WHO? IF NOT NOW WHEN! I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong... Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India. #CockroachJantaParty #CJP #SonamWangchuk Please share; No copyright," Wangchuk wrote on X.

Wangchuk Rejects Ladakh LG's Claims on CJP

Meanwhile, Wangchuk on Thursday asserted he considers himself an "honorary cockroach," as he rejected Ladakh Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's claim that he was "unsure" of the online movement's origins. The remark came in response to a post by Saxena on Tuesday, following a meeting with Wangchuk and his wife and HIAL co-founder Gitanjali J Angmo. The LG, in a post on X, said he cautioned Wangchuk against "weaving a misleading and provocative narrative" and claimed that the activist had accepted that comparing Ladakh with Manipur was an "error of judgment."

Cockroach Janta Party Founder To Hold Protest Against Education Minister

Earlier on Monday, the Cockroach Janta Party founder, Abhijeet Dipke, who launched an online campaign against the Education Minister amid outrage over the NEET-UG paper leak and the CBSE OSM row, said he would return to India on June 6 to launch a peaceful protest seeking the resignation of the Union Education Minister.

In a video released on Instagram, Dipke called on supporters and students to join his protest in Delhi. "The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us," he said.

Dipke urged supporters to join him at the airport on June 6. "I have decided that I will arrive in Delhi on Saturday morning, June 6. Please join me at the airport and together we will go to the Parliament Street police station to ask for permission to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar," he said.

In the video, Dipke alleged that exam-related controversies and disruptions had left students anxious and demanded accountability from the government. The Cockroach Janta Party, a youth-driven social media movement founded by Dipke, has gained traction since its formation and has been subscribed to by many public figures.
