‘Dictatorship defeated!’: Chants, tricolour and dance at Jantar Mantar as Dharmendra Pradhan tenders resignation
Addressing the protesters, Mr. Dipke said, “Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned and this is the proof that if you don’t get scared, you can win.” “You should not be scared to speak in a democracy. Only if you raise your voice, they will stay in line because they are sitting in power because of us.”
“This is the first wicket. We won’t stop here. This is just the beginning. I salute all students and all the volunteers who have been sitting here for the last 36 days,” he added.
However, Mr. Dipke has announced that the protest will continue despite the resignation announcement.He posted a picture of him holding the Indian Constitution, on X, and wrote “thank you.”
“We have two more demands. We will not go like that. We are cockroaches. Once it enters, it does not leave. Only one resignation has happened for now. Don’t mess with the cockroach,” he said.
