WHAT HAPPENED
The 'Cockroach' youth in India have called off their protests after the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resigned. According to Al Jazeera, this decision was made after the Centre accepted the protesters' demands. The protests had been ongoing for 36 days, as reported by Telegraph India.
The protesters' demands included a 5-point charter, and according to The Times of India, FIRs against protesters will be quashed and compensation will be given. The Cockroach Janta Party, which led the protests, has withdrawn its agitation, as reported by The Hindu. Additionally, Pralhad Joshi has been appointed as the new Union Education Minister, according to The Hindu.
The protests were significant as they reflected the concerns and frustrations of the youth in India regarding education and governance. The use of excessive force by the authorities, including the use of pellet guns and electric shock weapons, was also a point of contention, as reported by ThePrint.
