In the wake of Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation from the Union Education Minister post following weeks of student protests at the Jantar Mantar, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk called it a ‘victory of democracy straight from the streets’.

After the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was announced, several leaders of the opposition came forward and congratulated the youth of the country for their historic triumph over the central government.

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Saturday called off its agitation with ‘immediate effect’ after the central government accepted all its key demands, including the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.
