Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has called for a peaceful protest in New Delhi and announced that he will return from the United States to participate in the demonstration scheduled for June 6.
Speaking through a video message on social media platform X, Dipke said the protest would focus on concerns surrounding the education system and ongoing controversies linked to examinations such as NEET. He reiterated his demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Dipke urged supporters to gather at the airport upon his arrival before accompanying him to Parliament Street Police Station, where organisers plan to seek official permission for a protest at Jantar Mantar.
The activist said the demonstration would be entirely peaceful and conducted under constitutional provisions that allow citizens to express dissent. He emphasised that the movement would follow democratic methods and reject any form of violence.
The announcement comes amid continued public debate over examination management and allegations of irregularities. Dipke argued that students and their families deserve accountability and transparency from authorities.
He also spoke about concerns raised by friends and relatives who fear he could face legal action after returning to India. Despite those concerns, Dipke said he remained determined to proceed with the protest.
Referring to historical figures such as Gandhi, Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh, he said he drew inspiration from leaders who believed in public participation and democratic engagement.
Dipke further appealed to citizens not to remain silent because of fear. He argued that the issues being raised affect the future of students and should be addressed through collective action.
The protest, if approved by authorities, would mark the first major on-ground mobilisation by the Cockroach Janta Party. While the movement began as a satirical online initiative, it has evolved into a platform through which supporters discuss governance, education and public accountability, drawing increasing attention across social media platforms.
