Exam Paper Leaks Trigger Major Front Against Modi Government in India

New Delhi (Web Desk): A new movement led by India’s Generation Z against repeated examination paper leaks and rising unemployment has become a major political challenge for the Modi government. The "Cockroach Janata Party" (CJP), which emerged through social media activism, is steadily gaining popularity and street influence and has now established a permanent protest presence in the capital, New Delhi.

Protest to Continue Until Education Minister Resigns

According to a report by the international media outlet Al Jazeera, the Cockroach Janata Party has made it clear that its ongoing protest in New Delhi will not end until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
