Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Nabin has issued his first reaction to a massive youth-led protest against the Indian education system held in Delhi earlier in the day. The demonstration was led by Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old who graduated from the Boston University in the United States. "Some people sitting abroad think that they will dictate the direction to India's youth," Nabin said hours after the protest in the national capital. The protest was held under the banner of Cockroach Janta Party, an online satirical campaign founded by Dipke last month.

Nabin said the youth "wants to work towards building of the nation and secure their future," adding that some people "have labeled this country's youth as anti-establishment." Speaking at an event in Ranchi, the BJP president added: "To those who want to drag this country's youth into negative politics, I warn them that India's youth will engage in positive politics. We will oppose on the basis of democracy, but we will not allow the standards of democracy to be destroyed."

Nabin further said: "The youth of India sit in the village square with farmers, live on the village paths, live in our coaching institutes, and live in our college campuses. The youth of India are not going to move forward by becoming a puppet in the hands of a few people." He added that the use of digital media to negatively influence the Indian youth "will never be allowed to happen."

The BJP president's comments came on a day the national capital witnessed a huge youth-led protest at the Jantar Mantar, which was joined by educator-activist Sonam Wangchuk and supported by several opposition leaders. Dipke and other protesters have demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the scandals engulfing several national-level examinations, including the NEET UG paper leak. "If we want to reset the education system, it must begin with the removal of the Education Minister. As long as he remains in office, we cannot begin the process of restoring the education system of this country. This is the beginning of a movement. If no action is taken within seven days, this movement will spread across the country," the CJP said in a statement after the protest.
