Ministro de Educación de la India renuncia tras protestas estudiantiles de cinco semanas en Delhi

El ministro de Educación Dharmendra Pradhan renunció el 25 de julio en Delhi después de semanas de manifestaciones estudiantiles, anuncio que se confirmó el 27 de julio. Las protestas fueron encabezadas por el movimiento juvenil Cockroach Janta Party, que surgió a principios de julio cuando el activista Sonam Wangchuk inició una huelga de hambre que duró 26 días y le hizo perder más de 9 kg, lo que motivó una petición ante el Tribunal Superior de Delhi para recibir atención médica.

Posteriormente la policía lo trasladó a un hospital gubernamental y dispersó una marcha hacia el Parlamento el 20 de julio, empleando gases lacrimógenos y porras, hiriendo a decenas de manifestantes. La ocupación del Jantar Mantar se amplió a miles de manifestantes y se extendió a más de una docena de ciudades indias, exigiendo la renuncia del ministro y reformas del sistema de exámenes tras el escándalo de filtración de preguntas.
