印度教育部长德哈蒙德拉·普拉丹在持续五周的大规模青年抗议后宣布辞职[1]。这场由"蟑螂党"(Cockroach Janta Party)发起的讽刺性运动针对考试试卷泄露和测试不规范等教育系统问题[2],吸引了数万名年轻示威者在德里参与[2]。普拉丹在社交媒体X上发布辞职声明,表示要"尊重青年的愿望、梦想和期望"[1]。
抗议活动因7月20日警方的暴力驱散而扩大,当天约300人被送往医院,其中至少一半是安全人员[1]。活跃人士瓦恩丘克从6月28日开始参与抗议并进行绝食,直到周五上午才停止[1]。"蟑螂党"创始人、30岁的政治传播策略家阿比吉特·迪普克率领的这场运动已在Instagram上积累了2600万粉丝[1]。抗议者对部长的辞职表示庆祝,随后宣布结束这一抗议活动[1]。
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has announced his resignation, bringing an end to a five-week protest movement organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).[1][2] The demonstrations, which drew tens of thousands of young people to Delhi, were triggered by concerns over exam paper leaks and irregularities in testing procedures.[2] Pradhan announced his departure on X, stating his intention to "respect the aspirations, dreams and expectations of the youth."[1]
The CJP, a satirical movement rather than an actual political party, gained significant momentum following a police crackdown on July 20 that resulted in approximately 300 hospitalizations, with at least half being security personnel.[1] The movement had amassed 26 million followers on Instagram and was founded by 30-year-old political communications strategist Abhijit Deepak.[1] Activist Vainchuk joined the protests on June 28 and undertook a hunger strike that continued until Friday morning.[1] The resignation has been celebrated as a victory by the protesters, who have now called off their campaign.[1]
