THE CJP founder further stated that if Pradhan still didn't resigned, the students and youth of this entire country will once again come to Delhi and a massive protest will be organised which will be entirely peaceful and democratic.
The protest at Jantar Mantar concluded after several hours of sloganeering and demonstrations on Saturday, the organisers have given the government one week to respond.
CJP spokesperson Ashish Ranka said the government has seven days to act. He stated that either Dharmendra Pradhan should resign with dignity or Prime Minister Narendra Modi should remove him from office.
"If that does not happen, the movement will spread across the country," Ranka said, adding that the time has come for changes in India's education system and that the process has begun from Jantar Mantar.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also reacted to the protest. BJP national president Nitin Navin said that some people sitting abroad are trying to decide the direction of India's youth, but that would not be allowed to happen.
His remarks came as a large number of people gathered at Jantar Mantar to protest over issues related to examinations and the education system.
