Cockroach Janta Party Protests Against Educational Failures
蟑螂人民黨抗議教育失敗
Introduction
Supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have started an indefinite protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. They are demanding that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign from his position.
蟑螂人民黨 (CJP) 的支持者在新德里的 Jantar Mantar 開始了一場無限期抗議。他們要求教育部長 Dharmendra Pradhan 辭職。
Main Body
The current protests were caused by serious problems with national exams, specifically the leaking of the NEET exam papers. Because of this, the government had to cancel the first exam on May 3 and organize a re-test for about 2.2 million students. Furthermore, the situation became more tragic as reports emerged of over twelve student suicides between the two exam dates. Consequently, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has called for the minister's resignation and asked for 10 million rupees in compensation for the affected families.
目前的抗議是由於國家考試出現嚴重問題引起，特別是 NEET 試卷外流。因此，政府不得不取消 5 月 3 日的第一場考試，並為約 220 萬名學生組織補考。更不幸的是，有報導指出在兩次考試日期之間，有超過 12 名學生自殺。因此，CJP 創辦人 Abhijeet Dipke 要求部長辭職，並要求為受影響家庭提供 1,000 萬盧比的賠償。
The CJP is a movement mostly made up of Gen Z members. It moved from social media to real-life protests in May after the Chief Justice of India compared young people to cockroaches. Dipke used this name to organize students who are struggling with high unemployment and academic stress. The movement is very large, with over 22 million followers on Instagram, which is more than the ruling party's digital reach.
CJP 是一個主要由 Z 世代成員組成的運動。在印度首席大法官將年輕人比作蟑螂後，該運動於 5 月從社群媒體轉向現實生活的抗議。Dipke 利用這個名稱來組織那些在面對高失業率和學業壓力中掙扎的學生。該運動規模龐大，在 Instagram 上擁有超過 2,200 萬名追隨者，超過了執政黨的數位影響力。
There has been significant tension between the protesters and the Delhi Police. Although the official permission for the gathering ended on Saturday afternoon, the CJP refused to leave. Protesters claimed that the police cut off electricity and water to force them away, although these services were later restored. Additionally, the government temporarily banned the Telegram app to stop the leaks, but critics argued this was not a helpful solution. The movement has grown even stronger now that climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has joined, proposing a hunger strike starting June 27 if the minister does not resign.
抗議者與德里警方之間存在顯著緊張局勢。儘管集會的官方許可已於週六下午結束，但 CJP 拒絕離開。抗議者聲稱警方切斷電水以強迫他們離開，儘管這些服務隨後恢復了。此外，政府暫時禁用 Telegram 應用程式以阻止洩漏，但批評者認為這並非有效的解決方案。隨著氣候活動家 Sonam Wangchuk 的加入，該運動變得更加強大，他建議如果部長不辭職，將於 6 月 27 日開始絕食。
Conclusion
The CJP continues to occupy Jantar Mantar, insisting that the protest will not end until the education minister is removed from office.
CJP 繼續佔領 Jantar Mantar，堅持在教育部長被撤職前不會結束抗議。
