After holding protests in Delhi and Pune, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday announced that the CJP’s next protest would be held in Amritsar on June 13. The youth-led movement that is being touted as India’s ‘Gen Z revolt’ has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and seeking justice and accountability for the NEET and CBSE examination fiasco.
Taking to X and Instagram, Dipke said the CJP would be hosting a peaceful protest at Amritsar’s Golden Gate at 4 pm on June 13 and appealed to students and volunteers to join them. The nationwide movement that has spilled over from online forums to the streets has mobilised and united youth over concerns regarding India’s education system and stirred dialogue on the need for reforms.
With Punjab gearing up for Assembly elections in 2027, the state’s political parties are busy hustling on ground to draw a poll map. If it proves to be successful in mobilising the state’s youth, the Cockroach Janata Party’s protest might stir political heat in poll-bound Punjab.
