‘He garlanded rapists’: Abhijeet Dipke on Pralhad Joshi as education minister after CJP protest forced Pradhan's exit
Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke opposed Pralhad Joshi's appointment as education minister, citing that Joshi 'garlanded rapists' of Bilkis Bano.
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as education minister on July 25 after a month-long CJP protest at Jantar Mantar.
CJP demanded ₹1 crore compensation for families of students who died by suicide after NEET-UG paper leak; Dipke said families have not received it.
Dipke warned of another sit-in if CJP demands, including compensation and no FIRs against protesters, are not met.
In 2022, Joshi had backed the early release of 11 men convicted in the Bilkis Bano case, saying the decision was taken as per law.
