The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which grew from a humorous online presence to millions of followers last month, held its first press conference on June 3 to announce the Delhi protest against NEET-UG leaks, CBSE evaluation errors, and other issues affecting nearly one crore students.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had announced that he would return to India on June 6 and seek permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. “We are demanding accountability in the system,” Saurav Das added. “We have been demanding the resignation of the education minister, but no action has been taken against him to date. The transfers are being projected as action. It’s not. There’s a rot in the system,” he said.
The leftists' group has linked its campaign to concerns over alleged paper leaks, examination errors and the impact of these issues on students across the country.
The plea, filed by NGO Save India Foundation, was mentioned before a vacation bench of Justices Saurabh Banerjee and Amit Sharma. The petitioner's counsel urged the court to take up the matter on an urgent basis, citing concerns over possible disruption due to the planned CJP demonstration. However, the bench declined to grant an urgent hearing.
The petition sought directions to Delhi Police and other authorities to make arrangements for crowd management and maintain public order in view of the CJP protest call issued by the youth-led movement.

What did the petitioners demand?
The petitioner, in his plea, sought deployment of "immediate preventive, regulatory, and crowd-control measures" at the IGI Airport, metro stations, and highway entry points. It also sought directions to the authorities to "restrict, regulate, or relocate the scheduled gathering" to maintain public order and ensure that vital infrastructure and emergency services, like hospitals, railway stations, the high court and the Supreme Court, function without compromising public safety.
The PIL alleged that Cockroach Janta Party has turned the youth into an "unregulated contingent" by "utilising overseas-tethered servers to execute a transnational institutional destabilization agenda".
It demanded that the June 6 mobilisation be either relocated to an alternative designated site or be strictly regulated with comprehensive videography of the proceedings to ensure that those who are "instigating" from "overseas jurisdictions", including the USA and Australia, are prevented from compromising airport security and essential emergency machinery.

About the CJP protests on June 6
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which grew from a humorous online presence to millions of followers last month, held its first press conference on June 3 to announce the Delhi protest against NEET-UG leaks, CBSE evaluation errors, and other issues affecting nearly one crore students.
Spokespersons like Saurav Das dismissed recent government moves as superficial and blatantly rejected prior police permissions, drawing criticism for risking public order.
The CJP has long been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging mismanagement in the education sector. The party founder, Abhijeet Dipke, closely associated with the AAP, also claimed that the youth power was enough to get the government on its knees. Notably, it was reported earlier that Dipke had supported separatists in Jammu and Kashmir during the abrogation of Article 370. It was also reported how the leftist mass movement attracted more than 49% of Pakistani supporters.
