Why is the government not demanding the resignation of Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan?" a protestor said to news reporters, adding that the recent paper leaks has only shown that the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the current education ministry are “not competent to handle the exam structure”."We will not let this government play with our future. We are not scared of anything. The education minister will have to resign," the protesting young woman added further as per an ANI video.The protestor also referred to the "cockroach" remark made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, which caused a massive uproar among Indian youth and also played a role in the formation of Cockroach Janta Party."If the Chief Justice thinks students are cockroaches, the treatment of students in the country shows that we are treated like such insects," she said. The CJI has said he was only referring to fake degree holders when he used the words “cockroaches” and “parasites”. The protestor said leaders' remarks showed that “we will be crushed even when all we are demanding is better education”. Calls for Pradhan's resignation began after the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced that the NEET-UG exam, held on May 3, would be cancelled due to a paper leak.Amid the unrest caused by the NEET paper leak, a new row surfaced after a 19-year-old hacker flagged concerns in the on-screen marking portal of the Central Board of Secondary Education, shortly after the board declared the Class 12 results.Furthermore, the anger towards the education ministry increased after a technical glitch was reported during the CUET UG exam. The glitch delayed the start of the morning shift by up to three to four hours at several centres across India, leading to protests by both students and parents.
