Student Protest Leaders Continue Sit-In as Pressure Mounts on Indian Government

Leaders of India’s youth Cockroach Janta Party entered nearly two weeks of sit-in protests in New Delhi on Tuesday, intensifying their campaign for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The demonstrations gained further momentum after a prominent social activist launched a hunger strike in support of the protesters’ demands.

The ongoing protests have drawn national attention, with demonstrators calling for accountability and changes within the education ministry. The hunger strike has added pressure on the government as the movement continues to attract public and political interest.

The protests come amid reports that the Indian government is considering a major cabinet reshuffle. According to sources cited by local media, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan could be reassigned to a different portfolio as part of the anticipated changes.
