CJP to launch nationwide protest today
New Delhi, June 10 : Asserting that India’s youngsters are not scared of questioning the government, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which led a protest here last week demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, said on Wednesday that it would launch an “indefinite sit-in” at Jantar Mantar from June 20 if the minister does not step down. In a statement here, the CJP, which started as a satirical social-media account and has transformed into a movement following last week’s agitation at Jantar Mantar, also announced that it would hold protests in different cities, starting with Pune on June 11, followed by Lucknow, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Jaipur and Hyderabad. The CJP said the protests will continue until Pradhan resigns. (PTI)
