“Defeat for the dictator”: Celebrations erupt in India after education minister resigns

Celebrations erupted in India’s capital on Saturday after news that the country’s education minister had resigned.

Hours after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced his resignation, leaders of the so-called “cockroach” movement called off a weeks-long student strike over alleged exam paper leaks and irregularities in the education system.

It comes after weeks of nationwide demonstrations, sit-ins and hunger strikes in a significant challenge to President Narendra Modi’s leadership.

Organizers called for an end to the protests on Saturday, saying that all of their demands had been met.
