印度新德里周一爆发大规模抗议活动,数万名示威者无视警方禁令举行游行,要求教育部长 Dharmendra Pradhan 下台 [1]。这场由青年运动组织"蟑螂民众党"(CJP)发起的抗议,源于今年医学入学考试再次泄题风波 [1]。
该场医学入学考试吸引约 200 万人竞争 13 万个名额,泄题后被随即取消,造成超过 20 人自杀 [1]。"蟑螂民众党"由 Abhijeet Dipke 在 5 月创立 [1],旨在为受教育和就业困境影响的青年群体发声。
尽管德里警方实施了互联网封锁和设置路障,并使用警棍和催泪瓦斯进行镇压 [1],抗议者仍然坚持示威 [1]。22 岁的抗议者 Rhythm Katoch 和 18 岁的 Harion Sharma 等人参与了此次行动 [1]。活动家 Sonam Wangchuk 为支持抗议进行了 21 天的绝食 [1]。
莫迪政府随后邀请内阁部长 JP Nadda 与 CJP 代表进行会谈 [1],但迄今尚未做出具体承诺 [1]。
Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in New Delhi on Monday, ignoring police restrictions to stage a massive rally demanding the resignation of India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. [1]
The protest was organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement founded in May by Abhijeet Dipke. [1] The demonstration was triggered by a medical entrance examination that was cancelled after answers leaked for the second time this year, a competitive test in which 2 million students vied for approximately 130,000 positions. [1] The exam cancellation followed more than 20 suicides linked to the examination crisis. [1]
Despite heavy-handed police response, which included internet shutdowns, roadblocks, batons, and tear gas, protesters maintained their presence on the streets. [1] Among the demonstrators were 22-year-old Rhythm Katoch and 18-year-old Harion Sharma. [1] Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had undertaken a 21-day hunger strike in support of the cause, also participated in the movement. [1]
The underlying grievances extend beyond the exam leak, rooted in broader concerns about youth unemployment and educational opportunities. [1] In response to the mounting pressure, the Modi government arranged talks between Cabinet Minister JP Nadda and CJP representatives, though no concrete commitments were announced following the discussions.
