India's 'cockroach' protest ends after minister quits

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) called off its five-week protest after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, citing the need to prevent exploitation of the youth movement. The online satirical campaign, sparked by a chief justice's remark, became a powerful expression of public anger against PM Modi's government, demanding education reform and accountability for exam paper leaks. Thousands celebrated at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, with leaders declaring a victory for democracy.
