What is happening today
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke is set to join a student-led protest in Lucknow on Friday at Eco Garden, intensifying a nationwide campaign demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, including the NEET paper leak controversy. Dipke said on social media platform X that he would participate in the demonstration following earlier protests in Delhi and Pune.
Lucknow Police permission status
However, the status of police permission for the Lucknow protest remains unclear. Local authorities have not confirmed whether approval has been granted for the gathering, and official responses from senior police officials were not immediately available.
Dipke has said that if permission is not in place, organisers will seek approval and proceed in a peaceful and constitutional manner, as they have done in previous demonstrations.
Why this matters
The protest movement highlights growing concerns raised by organisers over alleged systemic failures in India’s examination governance. CJP has argued that repeated paper leaks and disruptions in exams such as NEET, CBSE, and CUET have caused widespread distress among students. The group claims that accountability has been lacking within the Education Ministry and has called for structural reforms through its “exam manifesto,” while warning of an expanded national agitation culminating in a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 20.
