The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday called off its 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar “in good faith” after a round of talks with the government, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said at a joint press conference with a government delegation at the Constitution Club of India in New Delhi. The press conference included CJP spokespersons Das and Ashutosh Ranka, Union minister JP Nadda, and minister of state Jitendra Singh.
The announcement came shortly after education minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a letter shared on X, Pradhan said he was “saddened by the sequence of events” of the last ten days and that his decision was taken “in interest of the unity of the country”.
