New Delhi<\/strong>: The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to urgently hear a plea raising concerns over potential law and order issues arising from the Cockroach Janta Party’s call for a protest at Jantar Mantar on June 6 seeking resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plea seeking urgent hearing was mentioned before a vacation bench of Justices Saurabh Banerjee and Amit Sharma, which refused to list the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NGO Save India Foundation, has filed the petition seeking immediate preventive, regulatory, and crowd-control measures at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, metro stations, and highway entry points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Internet-based platform Cockroach Janta Party, has called for a peaceful protest on June 6. Dipke, who created the CJP a viral satirical online movement in mid-May 2026, is arriving in Delhi from the US on June 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CJP has been vocal about failures in the education system, exam leaks, and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has emerged as a Gen Z-led satirical “party” after Chief Justice Surya Kant was reportedly quoted as refering to young, unemployed Indians as \u201ccockroaches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the CJI issued a clarification that he was \u201cmisquoted\u201d by the media, but the comment containing cockroaches went viral on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internet-based party quickly gained millions of Instagram followers, surpassing the follower counts of several major political parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
