Among the demands for compensation for bereaved families, the party’ founder also called for the resignation of the union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging failures and mismanagement in the education system.

Dipke’s letter also highlighted the financial burden on the families, stating that several have taken education loans to support their children’s aspirations and were left “entirely destitute.”

In addition, the CJP has also announced protests at Jantar Mantar from June 20, calling for accountability and reforms to address student mental health concerns, exam management issues, and broader changes in the education system.

“We urge you to intervene immediately, prioritize the mental health and safety of our students, and bring about the structural reforms needed to ensure that no young lives are cut short by academic despair,” Dipki wrote in the letter.
