India, June 20 -- Chants of "Go Pradhan Go" rang out across Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Saturday as Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protesters began banging thalis (plates) with spoons shortly after demonstrations commenced at 1 pm on Saturday.

Protestors carrying plates and spoons in large numbers demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The protest marked the CJP's second major mobilisation after its June 6 gathering at Jantar Mantar.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had urged supporters to bring thalis and spoons as the internet-born outfit stepped up its campaign against exam paper leaks and student suicides. Similar protests had been organised in Pune, Lucknow, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Jaipur.
