Hunger strike, police action, and Gen Z: Key moments from CJP's 36-day Jantar Mantar protest
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) concluded a 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar, marked by significant events including activist Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike and a violent 'Chalo Sansad' march. The protest, which began with a five-point reform agenda on June 11, escalated as demands went unmet, culminating in clashes with police on July 20 that led to the locking of Parliament's gates. The movement attracted widespread support, with demonstrations spreading to other cities, highlighting the growing discontent over India's education policies.
