Will join Cockroach Janta Party Delhi protests on June 6, says Wangchuk

New Delhi: Ladakh-based climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has backed the Cockroach Janta Party’s demand for Indian Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation and announced that he would join the outfit’s June 6 protest in Delhi if no action is taken by June 5, lending fresh momentum to a movement that has rapidly gained traction online.

According to Kashmir Media service, making the announcement through social media posts and a video message, Wangchuk said accountability was necessary when repeated failures affect millions of students and warned that continuing silence over examination-related issues would only deepen public frustration. He said he would join CJP members in Delhi if the situation remained unchanged, arguing that in any democracy, ministers must take responsibility when serious lapses occur under their watch.

According to him, the consequences of repeated disruptions in the education system extend far beyond examinations and directly affect India’s future.

“IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN! I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong… Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India,” he wrote on X.

The announcement came hours after Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke hinted that a prominent figure would publicly back the campaign. Shortly before Wangchuk’s statement, Dipke posted cryptic messages on social media indicating that a major announcement was imminent, while the outfit’s backup handle suggested a significant endorsement was coming.

In his message, Wangchuk said he had spoken with Dipke and reviewed data shared by him before deciding to support the movement. He said the interaction convinced him that the campaign reflected genuine concerns among young Indians rather than political motivations
