Protesters associated with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched toward the Indian Parliament yesterday to demand action regarding recent education-related issues. The demonstration resulted in clashes between protesters and police, leading to reported injuries on both sides.

During the event, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for departing the Parliament complex while the protest was underway. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi has publicly addressed the exam leaks that served as a catalyst for the demonstration, stating that his administration is taking steps to hold those responsible accountable.

In response to the ongoing situation, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has called for the Prime Minister’s resignation. The protests reflect broader political tensions surrounding the government's handling of educational integrity and administrative accountability.
