Cockroach Movement Wins as Education Minister Resigns | Johannesburg News
Description
India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned amid massive nationwide protests led by the “Cockroach” movement, which began over exam leaks but swiftly expanded into a broader demand for government accountability, job opportunities, and economic justice. Demonstrators — students, professionals, families, and activists — flooded streets across major cities, culminating in jubilant celebrations in New Delhi after Pradhan’s exit, hailed as a democratic victory. Though police clashed with protesters and the government proposed new anti-cheating laws, the movement remains defiant, now demanding compensation for affected families and justice for those injured during crackdowns — signaling this is far from over.
