Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) ने 24 July को nationwide peaceful protest call किया — “Every District. One Day. One Demand.” के नारे के साथ. CJP ने student unions और civil society groups से हर district में demonstrations करने की appeal की.
Protest का कारण: NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy के खिलाफ students के protests के दौरान alleged “police brutality”. CJP की central demand — Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan की resignation.
CJP का stand: Government के talks offer को reject कर दिया — कहा कि बातचीत Jantar Mantar या किसी neutral venue (जैसे Constitution Club of India) पर ही होगी, government location (JP Nadda के residence/office) पर नहीं.
CJP spokesperson Sourav Das ने कहा — “Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is non-negotiable. Without this, the protest will continue”. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke ने PM Modi को warning दी — अगर Pradhan की resignation नहीं हुई तो माँग PM Modi की resignation तक जा सकती है.
Government का response: Delhi Police ने strict legal action की warning दी — violence में involved लोगों का passport cancellation तक हो सकता है. PM Modi ने fast-track courts और strict punishment का announcement किया.
⚠️ IMPORTANT – Exam Point: CJP एक political party है (officially registered नहीं). यह protest constitutional right to protest (Article 19) vs. reasonable restrictions का classic example है. Bandh/protest की constitutional validity — Supreme Court ने कहा है ki bandh fundamental right नहीं है.
