# Dharmendra Pradhan: India's 'cockroach' protesters call off strike as education minister resigns

The youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has called off its protest, hours after the historic resignation of India's education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan. The resignation came as a massive victory for the movement that had captured the nation's attention for weeks.

After an intense period of hunger strikes, marches, and digital campaigns, the government finally yielded to the demands for accountability over widespread exam paper leaks and systemic educational failures.
