Sonam Wangchuk Joins CJP Protest, Demands Beyond Pradhan's Resignation; Watch His Full Speech At Jantar Mantar

A large protest was held at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday as members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) gathered to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest was led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and attracted hundreds of students and young supporters from different parts of the country.

The demonstration focused on alleged irregularities in several important examinations and recruitment tests. Protesters claimed that repeated controversies surrounding exams have affected the future of millions of students and job aspirants.

Abhijeet Dipke Targets Government Over Exam Controversies

Addressing the crowd, Abhijeet Dipke accused the government of ignoring the concerns raised by students. He claimed that for more than a month, the party had been demanding the Education Minister's resignation through social media campaigns.

According to Dipke, instead of responding to the demands, authorities were more interested in limiting the group's online presence. He told supporters that while social media posts could be removed, the voices of students could not be silenced.

His speech received loud applause from the gathering, many of whom raised slogans demanding greater transparency in examinations and recruitment processes.

"Youth Of The Country Have Not Sold Out"

Dipke also spoke about his arrival in Delhi, saying he was prepared to sacrifice his personal freedom for the movement if necessary. He claimed that many people remain silent because they fear legal action, but students and young people continue to speak out.

"The youth and students of this country have not sold themselves," he said, drawing cheers from those attending the protest.

He described the movement as a long struggle and urged participants to remain united in their demands.

Heavy Security Arrangements At Jantar Mantar

Security was tightened around the protest venue as large crowds gathered at Jantar Mantar. Police personnel were deployed in the area to maintain order and ensure that the demonstration remained peaceful.

Before arriving at the venue, Dipke said he intended to complete all necessary formalities and seek official permission for the event.

Sonam Wangchuk Joins The Movement- Watch

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk extended his support to the protest and later joined the gathering. Speaking to students, he encouraged them to use the movement not only to discuss examination issues but also to think about broader reforms in the education system.

Sonam Wangchuk's Full Message To Students: "The Debate Must Go Beyond Exams"
Addressing students and youth gathered at Jantar Mantar, Sonam Wangchuk said the movement should not remain limited to examination controversies but should grow into a larger discussion on education reforms, governance, and the future of India.

Wangchuk said:

"People like us can offer advice, guide you, and help show a truthful path. My hope is that while this movement may begin with examinations, it should not end with examinations. The debate must continue on how to change the system itself.

We need to discuss how better quality education can reach students. While quality education is available in cities, we must ask how it can reach villages as well. Government schools are the real pathway to a developed India, not the private schools of Delhi. The true factories of a developed nation are the schools in our villages.

Therefore, we must think about how government schools can be improved. At the same time, while you are demanding resignations and accountability-which is a good thing and an important democratic demand-I would go a step further. I believe that the children of all our elected representatives should study in government schools.

Today, we should certainly discuss examinations and demand accountability, whether that means resignations or deeper reforms. But real change will come only when the people who make policies and represent India send their own children to the same schools attended by ordinary citizens. Otherwise, the system will never truly change.

Since the discussion today is about examinations, I hope the government will pay full attention to issues such as paper leaks and irregularities. Our Prime Minister often speaks about examinations through 'Pariksha Pe Charcha'. Today, there is a need for a discussion on examinations themselves-why such problems are happening and how they can be prevented.

At the same time, I would urge you not to stop at education issues or youth issues alone. Look beyond them and think about how you can improve the environment as well.

India belongs to you. The water you drink tomorrow-will it be clean? The air you breathe tomorrow-will it be clean? Do we want development today at the cost of tomorrow?

If today's growth comes at the expense of future generations, where ordinary people cannot even drink clean water or breathe clean air, then that is not true development. Every important issue should remain part of this conversation. This movement should not have an endpoint."

"Hum mehnat kash iss duniya se ek apna hissa mange ge, ek baat nahi ek khet nahi hum saari duniya mangenge."

Wangchuk's remarks received loud applause from the gathering, particularly when he called for elected representatives to send their children to government schools and urged students to think beyond examination reforms toward broader changes in education, governance, and environmental protection.

Wangchuk Announces Six-Week Fast If Arrests Take Place

Ahead of the protest, Wangchuk released a video message announcing a major step. He said he would begin a 42-day fast if authorities arrested leaders or participants connected with the demonstration.

HOPE FOR THE BEST, PREPARE FOR THE WORST.
Let’s make this the most peaceful movement in Indias history.
Please be vigilant that no miscreants play mischief.
See you all in Delhi tomorrow...#CockroachJantaParty #CJP #SonamWangchuk pic.twitter.com/qJAwal2wIy

The activist stated that the fast would start on June 6 and continue for six weeks if arrests were made. Through his message, he asked supporters to consider how they would continue the movement if such a situation arose.

Protest Linked To Multiple Examination Concerns

Organisers say their protest is connected to concerns over alleged irregularities in several examinations, including NEET-UG, CUET, CBSE-related exams, and SSC GD recruitment tests.

They argue that repeated controversies have created uncertainty among students and affected confidence in the examination system. Protest leaders believe accountability is necessary to restore trust among young people.

Call For Peaceful Demonstration

Wangchuk repeatedly urged participants to maintain peace during the protest. He warned that any form of violence or provocation could damage the credibility of the movement.

He advised supporters to bring only water, flowers, and mobile phones to the venue. Participants were asked not to carry sticks, stones, or any object that could create tension.

The activist also encouraged people to document events through live recordings and immediately inform police if they noticed any suspicious activity.

A Movement Focused On Students' Future

The protest at Jantar Mantar highlights growing concerns among students regarding examination management and recruitment processes. While organisers continue to demand the resignation of the Education Minister, they have also called for broader reforms aimed at improving transparency, fairness, and quality in India's education system.

With support from youth groups and public figures like Sonam Wangchuk, the movement has gained national attention and is expected to remain a subject of discussion in the coming weeks.
