Lessons From Union Education Minister’s Resignation

The youth led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), formed immediately with a massive support from all over the country and abroad, triggered by unsavory derogatory remarks by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the highest seat of justice, catalyzed a major democratic revival in India by driving en masse digital mobilization, forcing the resignation of the union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and concessions on examination paper leak laws. The protests sparked by satirical pushback against unpalatable remarks on unemployed youth and fueled by the NEET and exam irregularities, showcased both the resilience of citizen mobilization and the ongoing friction between the fascist government and public expression. This has opened the door for revival of the constitutional democratic governance, making the autocratic government relent to account for their omission and commission, to the people, the sovereign masters of the government they have elected.

Communist Party of India has issued countywide call to stage a massive demonstration at Ramleela grounds on September first this year against the indifferent attitude of the ruling NDA government towards people’s growing miseries. While hunger graph shows the contradiction that India is one of the largest food producing countries, yet so far as consumption is concerned, we stand at 102 among 117 qualifying countries, worse than the neighbouring countries. According to statistics, the food scenario had been already poor even before COVID pandemic. COVID had its own share in the rising impoverishment and already had singularly affected the employment possibilities. Adding salt to the livid wounds, the malnourished generation has its own effects that may damage the future also, thus offering no hope.
