Abhijeet Dipke announced an indefinite hunger strike on Saturday. The CJP has been holding a protest, demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister.

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday began an indefinite hunger strike after educator and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was hospitalised on Day 21 of his indefinite fast.Dipke's announcement came amid big claims and counterclaims over Wangchuk's hospitalisation. While the Delhi Police said the activist was moved under a Delhi High Court order concerning his health, the CJP claimed that students were lathicharged and Wangchuk was taken away from Jantar Mantar by force. 

Earlier today, Dipke also claimed that he was beaten up and detained, a claim the Delhi Police denied. Dipke, along with many other CJP supporters and activists, has been leading a big protest seeking accountability on the NEET-UG paper leak and exam irregularities.
