Abhijit Deepki, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, announced on Monday that he will return to India on June 6 and will hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The protest will mark Debke’s first visit to India since launching the political satirical group, which has gained significant attention on social media.
“Hello everyone, I have decided to return to India. Yes, I am returning to my country, my homeland, India, to ask for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. You have seen from many days that we are raising our voice on social media that due to paper leakage, NEET kids who committed suicide and the hard work of thousands of students being wasted, therefore, Dharmendra Pradhan should resign,” he said in a video posted on X.
“It is time for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and raise our voices peacefully to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us.”

“Students have become anxious,” says Debke.
Citing the NEET paper leak controversy and issues surrounding the recent CBSE exam results, Debki claimed that more than one crore students have been failed by the system and are left worried about their future.
“Today, these 22 lakh NEET students, 17 lakh CBSE students, 16 lakh CUET students, 40 lakh SSCGD students, there are more than 1 crore students whose lives have been made fun of by the system. For this reason, students are very worried and anxious about their future. Someone has to take responsibility for this.”
Debke also called on students and youth across the country to exercise their constitutional right to demand accountability from the government and join the protest.
“Even after this huge mistake, if the Minister of Education does not resign, it means there is no longer any accountability in this country. It seems that the system can make as many mistakes as it wants, and there are no consequences for it. All consequences fall on the students.”
Debaki Delhi Plan
Announcing the details of his scheduled visit, Debaki said that he plans to arrive in Delhi on June 6. He urged his supporters to come to the airport, and then, he said, everyone would go and ask for permission to hold a peaceful protest.

“I have decided to come to Delhi on June 6, Saturday morning. You will all meet me at the airport. We will all go to Parliament Street police station and seek permission to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.”
He said that the movement will remain non-violent and will focus on raising concerns through democratic channels rather than confrontation.
“The Constitution of India gives us the right to raise our voice against irregularities peacefully. As per this Constitution, we will raise our voice and I hope that all supporters of CoCRO Jantar Party and all students and youth who are concerned about this system will join this protest. And those who think that Dharmendra Pradhan should resign, they should all join this protest.”
How long will we live in fear?
The CJP founder also addressed concerns expressed by his family, saying his parents fear he may be arrested upon his arrival in India. But he expressed hope that the authorities would allow the protest to proceed peacefully.
“My friends and family are afraid that they will be arrested and sent to jail. But I still hope that our country is a democracy and we will get permission to protest peacefully. I want to make it clear, I am a big fan of Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Nehru, and I believe in the Constitution of India more than anything else, which gives us the right to raise our voice in a democracy.”
Debaki admires Gandhi, Ambedkar
Debaki described himself as an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi, B. R. Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Jawaharlal Nehru, and said he believed strongly in the Indian Constitution and the democratic right to dissent.

“I want to make it clear that I am a great admirer of Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Nehru and I believe in the Constitution of India more than anything else which gives us the right to raise our voices in a democracy.”
“As far as the fear of imprisonment is concerned, how long will we live in fear? This country does not belong to any one party. This country belongs to all of us. It is a matter of our future.”
“Our future has been destroyed. Now it is our responsibility that whenever something goes wrong with anyone in this country, we must all raise our voices in a very peaceful and democratic way. If I wanted, I could easily get a job here in the United States of America.”
“Job offers rejected”
Debke said he had received multiple job offers in recent weeks but chose to return to India instead.
“I have also received many job offers in the past few days. But I will not accept them because I have decided to return to India because I love my country and I really want to do something for my country. Whatever we are today, it is all because of what this country has given us.”
“And now it’s our turn to do something for our country. Because if we don’t do something today, who will? How long will we wait for someone else to come and speak up and save us? So, all the pacifists and cockroaches who believe in the Constitution, let’s come together to save the future of millions of students. Thank you.”
Dipke was among Pradhan’s most vocal critics after the NEET-UG 2026 exam was canceled amid allegations of paper leak. The exam is now scheduled to be held on June 21, 2026.
