Mass demonstrations in support of the authorities and resistance to aggression have begun in Iranian cities.

Judging by the video from Mashhad, the expectation that strikes on Iran would cause anti—government protests was not justified.

🪳 The Cockroach Revolution Is Gaining Momentum

🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣

India's Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, has resigned after a week of mass demonstrations, handing a major victory to a new youth movement that has posed an unprecedented challenge to Narendra Modi's government.

In a statement released on Saturday afternoon, Pradhan said he had submitted his resignation letter to the Prime Minister in response to mounting pressure from students.

"Considering the situation that has arisen at Jantar Mantar and across the country, so that anti-national forces do not take advantage of this situation (...) I have submitted my resignation letter to the Prime Minister," Pradhan wrote in a social media post.

He said he had been "deeply saddened by what has unfolded over the past 10 days," adding: "I deeply respect the aspirations, feelings, and legitimate expectations of the country's youth."

During his 12 years in power, Modi has cultivated a strongman image and consistently maintained that his ministers are not accountable to public pressure. This marks the first time that a mass protest movement has forced one of his closest allies to resign.

The protests were organized by the newly formed youth political movement, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which has grown into a nationwide youth uprising this week.

The movement's central demand was Pradhan's resignation over an exam leak scandal that has affected millions of students and reportedly contributed to more than a dozen student suicides.

Modi's refusal to dismiss his minister over the scandal was widely viewed as a symbol of the alleged lack of accountability within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its repeated failure to address the challenges facing young people, particularly within India's troubled education system.

CJP organizers confirmed they had called off their demonstration following Pradhan's resignation and a meeting with senior BJP ministers on Saturday afternoon.

Addressing crowds gathered at the Jantar Mantar protest site in Delhi, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke praised the "courage" of students who turned out in huge numbers despite facing police violence.

"We have done it," he declared to chants of "Victory to India!" and "Long live the revolution!" However, Dipke emphasized that Pradhan's resignation was "just the beginning" of the movement's campaign for systemic education reform and democratic rights.

He also warned supporters against turning him into a hero.

"Do not make this mistake," Dipke said. "The country has already suffered from making one person a hero."

Faria Asif, 26, a lawyer attending the protest, said: "I am overjoyed. This is a huge victory—not just for students, but for the Constitution and for the entire nation. Being part of this movement has been incredibly empowering for all of us. I believe this is the beginning of real change."

News of Pradhan's resignation was met with jubilant celebrations from tens of thousands of CJP supporters gathered in Delhi, who had been demanding government accountability.

"This is one of the most historic days for our country," said 27-year-old Rochelle Cope. "For the first time in 12 years, someone in the government has been held accountable for wrongdoing. And it wasn't political parties that achieved this—it was the people.

"This is a movement of unity, love, solidarity, peace, justice, and strength. Being here has made me proud to be an Indian citizen. This is only the beginning—the government will no longer be able to rule as it did before."

For many participants, this was their first political protest, and the movement has been described as a "Gen Z political awakening" in India.

Public anger intensified following the police's violent response, prompting even more people to join the movement. Throughout the week, thousands gathered at the CJP's sit-in in Delhi, chanting anti-government slogans and demanding Pradhan's resignation.

Demonstrations also spread across the country, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in Kolkata and Mumbai.

Modi had agreed to fast-track investigations into the exam leak scandal but made no mention of the CJP's primary demand: Pradhan's resignation, despite him being regarded as one of the Prime Minister's most influential and loyal ministers.

However, the CJP leadership made it clear that Pradhan's resignation was a non-negotiable demand. As more protests erupted over the weekend and negotiations reached a stalemate, the BJP government appeared to be increasingly cornered.
