Watch: Protesters celebrate resignation of India's education minister
Protesters in India are celebrating after the resignation of the country's education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan. Tens of thousands of young people had been demonstrating in Delhi, demanding Pradhan resign after exam paper leaks and testing irregularities.
The movement, organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)—a national movement born out of a satirical campaign rather than a conventional party—has faced heavy police crackdowns throughout the protest period. Now that Pradhan has resigned, the protests have been called off.
The resignation follows a series of investigations that uncovered systematic leaks of admission exam papers and irregularities in the marking process, sparking outrage among students and educators alike. The protests highlighted demands for transparency, accountability, and reforms in India's educational assessment system.
