Satirical Party Founder Leads Sit-In Calling for Education Minister’s Resignation Since Saturday, Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the satirical group Cockroach Janta Party, has been leading a sustained protest in the center of New Delhi, demanding the resignation of the country’s education minister. The protest began as a sit-in and has since drawn a crowd of demonstrators who are refusing to leave the area. They are calling for accountability over a national examination system that has been hit by allegations of serious irregularities and scandal. Dipke and his supporters have positioned the protest as a symbolic and satirical form of political pressure, using humor and performance-style activism to draw attention to the controversy. Despite this tone, the demands have centered on a clear political outcome: the resignation of the education minister and reforms to the exam system. Authorities have so far monitored the gathering, while the protest continues to maintain a visible presence in the heart of the capital.
