Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke said he will return from Boston to Delhi on June 6 on Saturday to seek permission for a peaceful Jantar Mantar protest demanding Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Dipke alleged exam lapses had hurt crores of students and said supporters should raise their voices constitutionally.

Mumbai: In an effort to escalate his campaign against Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke (30) on Monday announced he would be returning to Delhi from Boston on June 6 to launch a ``peaceful protest." In a video message sent to FPJ, he appealed to his supporters to meet him at Delhi airport on Saturday morning and from there go to Parliament Street police station to seek permission to hold a peaceful protest rally at Jantar Mantar. Dipke, who is in Boston to do a course in public relations, was quick to cash in when the chief justice of India Surya Kant dubbed jobless youths as cockroaches. Dipke immediately announced the formation of the Cockroach Party of India and almost overnight he had millions of followers on the social media; more than the number of followers of the BJP and the Congress put together. Dipke was earlier the head of the social media cell of AAP.

Appeals to supporters to meet at Delhi airport

“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 Pradhan's resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us,” he stated. Pradhan is being targeted for the mess in NEET exams. The leakage of question papers has seriously robbed these exams of their credibility and resulted in a nationwide wave of resentment against Pradhan.

``For the past few days, you all have been seeing how we have been raising our voices on (the) 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.
