Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned as India's education minister, prompting an end to widespread protests. Tens of thousands of young people had demonstrated in Delhi, demanding his resignation due to exam paper leaks and testing irregularities.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a national movement that originated from a satirical campaign, announced the suspension of its protests hours after Pradhan's resignation. The CJP has previously faced significant crackdowns by police during its demonstrations.
The protests highlighted growing public concern over the integrity of national examinations and the responsiveness of the education ministry to student grievances.
