New Delhi: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in the NEET paper leak case has reached its third day today. Ignoring police warnings, the protest continued at Delhi's Jantar Mantar till late last night. CJP leaders also held a meeting with left-wing student organizations supporting the protest. The further strategy of the movement can be announced today.

However, other organizations have not shown much interest in this call of Cockroach Janata Party. CJP founder Abhijeet Deepke had also appealed to farmer organizations to join the protest at Jantar Mantar. But it is believed that the demonstration is not getting the support as expected. There is an atmosphere of uncertainty within the CJP about what to do next. On one hand, the central government is ignoring this protest, while on the other hand, Delhi Police's stance is that 'let them protest as much as they want'.

Meanwhile, Abhijeet Deepke has appealed to Delhi Police not to stop the water supply at the protest site. CJP had alleged that the police switched off the street lights of the protest site and also banned the bringing of food and water. CJP also alleges that the police is collecting Aadhaar and address information of those who are bringing food and water for the protesters. CJP has also requested the police not to stop those who are coming to participate in the protest.

After the first demonstration at Jantar Mantar on June 6, CJP workers have once again made it the center of their movement. Meanwhile, demonstrations were also held in many other cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru and Nagpur. This indefinite strike at Jantar Mantar started last Saturday. CJP workers clearly say that their protest will continue until Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
