Abhijeet Dipke, the creator behind the satirical Instagram page Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has declared that he will come back to India on Saturday, June 6, to begin a peaceful protest calling for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. The protest is a direct response to the NEET paper leak scandal, which triggered widespread outrage and led to several student suicides.
In a video posted on CJP’s Instagram on Monday, Dipke urged young Indians to unite and exercise their constitutional right to demand accountability from the government. “The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us,” he said.

Dipke confirmed he will land in Delhi on the morning of June 6 and invited supporters to meet him at the airport. From there, they plan to proceed to the Parliament Street police station to seek permission for a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, a historic protest site in the capital.
This announcement follows a recent legal setback for CJP: the Delhi High Court declined to order the immediate unblocking of the party’s X (formerly Twitter) account. Despite the ban, Dipke has continued using other platforms to highlight the NEET issue.
“For the past few days, you all have been seeing how we have been raising our voices on social media, demanding that Dharmendra Pradhan must resign – for the NEET students who died by suicide due to the paper leak, and for the wasted hard work of millions of students,” Dipke stated. His campaign centers on justice for affected aspirants and greater responsibility from the education ministry.
