New Delhi: Activist Sonam Wangchuk is set to join the ongoing protest at Delhi\u2019s Jantar Mantar on Sunday and begin an indefinite hunger strike, giving fresh momentum to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) campaign demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Wangchuk is expected to reach the protest site around 11 am and join the sit-in that has been underway since June 20. The agitation is focused on alleged examination irregularities and the NEET paper leak controversy. CJP has announced a nationwide \u2018Pradhan Go Back\u2019 campaign, urging students, parents, teachers, farmers and civil society groups to participate.<\/p>\n

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said he would not join the hunger strike due to migraine-related health concerns. Members of the All India Students\u2019 Association (AISA), including AISA all-India president Neha, JNU Students\u2019 Union joint secretary Danish, Manish, Deepak, Hrishikesh and Aameen, have announced an indefinite hunger strike in solidarity with Wangchuk.<\/p>\n

Farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni is also expected to join the agitation.The protest has intensified after CJP demanded Pradhan\u2019s resignation and Rs 1 crore compensation for families of students who died by suicide.<\/p>\n

CJP said the movement would continue even if the minister resigned, asserting that the protest was aimed at securing broader accountability in the education system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
