Thousands of young protesters demonstrating under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party are set to meet with Indian government officials on Friday and Saturday as tensions over exam paper leaks and demands for the education minister's resignation continue to escalate. 14
The movement, which originated as a satirical online campaign months ago, has evolved into one of India's largest student mobilizations in recent years. 23 Protesters began marching after multiple instances of leaked examination papers for high-stakes competitive entrance exams for medical schools and civil service positions. 46 Over 20 students have died by suicide following the leaks, and millions of students were forced to retake exams. 15
Activist Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent leader of the movement, concluded a 26-day hunger strike on Thursday, during which he lost 11 kilograms. 24 Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to mounting pressure by releasing a video on Thursday stating that "nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth" and announcing the establishment of fast-track courts to ensure "swift and severe punishment" for those responsible for exam leaks. 24 He also committed to introducing legislation to combat paper leaks, which will be discussed by the cabinet on Friday. 1
Despite government promises, protesters vow to continue their demonstrations until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. 14 Cockroach Janta Party spokesman Ashutosh Lanka stated: "Modi had to record a video at midnight—this shows the pressure he is under. The best solution is to remove the education minister." 1 Protester Fabeha Sayyed, 23, questioned why Modi had not demanded the minister's resignation. 4 Party founder Abhijeet Dipke declared: "We will not let Sonam's sacrifice go in vain." 4
The Supreme Court Chief Justice previously described unemployed youth as "cockroaches" and "parasites," a comment that inspired the movement's name. 5 The protests have presented a significant challenge to Modi's government, reflecting broader concerns about educational reform, unemployment, and government accountability. 25
Law enforcement dispersed marchers attempting to reach parliament on Monday using tear gas and batons. 24 The government has deployed 17 metro station closures and suspended mobile internet in several areas. 1 Wangchuk stated that the government committed not to take legal action against Jantar Mantar park protesters. 1
The swelling movement has drawn widespread public support, with citizens across India sending food via delivery apps to sustain the thousands camped at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. 6 One delivery rider reported making 19 food deliveries to the protest site, including an order of 70 pizzas from residents 25 kilometers away in Noida. 6 Volunteers reported being overwhelmed, with organizers eventually requesting supporters to stop sending food as supplies exceeded the number of protesters present. 6
