CJP to follow up on five-point education reform charter after four weeks

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday (July 25, 2026) said it would follow up in about four weeks on its five-point demand charter for broader education and examination reforms, with the Union government agreeing to deliberate on the proposals and hold further discussions.

Ahead of the third round of negotiations between the CJP representatives and Union Ministers Jitendra Singh and J.P. Nadda at the Constitution Club of India, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan tendered his resignation.

Both sides jointly addressed the media after the meeting. Mr. Nadda said all the demands had been accepted. Subsequently, CJP’s Saurav Das said: “On that note, the Cockroach Janta Party declares that we withdraw the agitation in good faith and understanding that the agreed-upon terms will be executed within the agreed-upon time period.” CJP representative Ashutosh Ranka then urged the protesters to return home immediately.

The CJP, which has led the protests at Jantar Mantar since June 20, had made three demands: resignation of Mr. Pradhan; compensation to the families of deceased students; and scrapping of cases against protesters and organisers in Delhi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)/National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-ruled States.

They also sought a written guarantee that copies of the FIRs would be given to them and that no legal action would be taken against any protester and organiser in the future. During the second meeting on Friday, they also submitted the five-point charter.

Stating that deep sympathies of the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi were with the aggrieved families, Mr. Nadda said maximum possible honourable compensation as per the rules and regulations would be given to them.

On the charter, he said the government would examine the proposals and hold discussions with CJP representatives to determine the way forward. Mr. Ranka said the party would follow up after roughly four weeks on the decision taken in this regard.

Lauding the protesters, social activist Sonam Wangchuk posted on X: “It’s a victory of democracy, direct democracy...straight from the streets. It’s a victory of peace, patience & perseverance. Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation.”

Mr. Wangchuk had ended his 26-day hunger strike on Friday upon confirmation from the government and MPs of all political parties that the issue would be taken up in Parliament.

His wife Gitanjali J. Angmo said through her X handle: “If anyone has shown what it means for India to be a Vishwaguru, it is our Gen Z. They have lived Sanatan Dharma, not preached it. Courage without hate. Strength without violence. Patriotism without blind obedience.”

“Unlike many of their counterparts across the world, they have shown that you can stand firmly against injustice without burning your own country down. Maybe it’s time the Hindu nationalist party learnt a thing or two from these young Indians about Hinduism, nationalism, and what it truly means to be a Vishwaguru,” said Ms. Angmo, tagging Mr. Modi.
