WEB DESK: The Gen-Z-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday announced the end of its nationwide protest against alleged examination paper leaks after the Indian government agreed to accept the students’ key demands.
The decision followed successful negotiations between government representatives and student leaders, according to a CJP spokesperson.
The protests, which continued for several weeks, drew thousands of students demanding greater transparency and sweeping reforms to India’s examination system. The movement’s primary demand, the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, was accepted by the government earlier on Saturday.
During a joint press conference, Union ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, alongside student representatives, announced that the government would provide dignified compensation to the families of students who died by suicide following the cancellation of the NEET examination.
The government also agreed to withdraw cases registered against protesters during the demonstrations.
CJP spokesperson Saro Das said all major demands raised by the movement had been accepted, prompting the organisation to call off the agitation with immediate effect.
He urged supporters to end the protests peacefully and return to their homes.
The student-led movement attracted nationwide attention, mobilising thousands of young people and receiving backing from opposition parties, placing increasing pressure on the government to address concerns over examination transparency and accountability.
