Protesters in India have celebrated the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan after large demonstrations in Delhi over alleged exam paper leaks and testing irregularities. The resignation matters because it follows mounting public pressure from young people concerned about the credibility and fairness of national examinations.

Tens of thousands of protesters took part in the demonstrations, which were organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Despite its name, CJP is a national movement that began as a satirical campaign rather than a formal political party; organisers have now called off the protests, which had faced heavy police crackdowns.
