India: CJP Government to Return to Talks as Protests Grow As protests in India show no signs of abating, the government has agreed to return to talks with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a coalition of students and youth demanding reforms in the country's struggling education system.
The impasse between the two sides has become a litmus test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration: can it listen to the grievances of its own people, or will it continue to rely on brute force to silence dissent?
The protests began in response to the leak of national medical entrance exam question papers in May, which affected millions of aspirants and reportedly led to several student suicides.
