Following an exam scandal, there are protests in India calling for the resignation of the Indian Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP's parliament march from Jantar Mantar: India's 'cockroach' protest continues a day after police crackdown

The CJP is demanding an overhaul of India's education system, with greater accountability for alleged exam paper leaks. It made the resignation of Pradhan their main demand after the leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).

Nearly 2.28 million candidates sat the medical entrance exam on 3 May. It was cancelled days later following reports that the paper had leaked, and a re-test was held weeks later.

More than 20 students have since died by suicide, with their families saying they were devastated by the scandal.

Protesters say Pradhan should take moral responsibility for the leak and resign. He has rejected the demand, calling the CJP and its supporters "the B-team of disruptive elements".
