印度教育大臣辞职,此前遭“蟑螂党”数周抗议

印度教育大臣德本德拉·普拉丹周六辞职。此前数周,民众因该国部分最具竞争力的入学考试遭泄露、教育体系存在违规行为等指控,发起要求其下台的抗议活动。

普拉丹在X平台的一篇帖子中宣布了这一决定,这对“蟑螂运动”来说是重大胜利。该运动牵头了全国范围的示威、静坐和绝食抗议。他的辞职也标志着纳伦德拉·莫迪总理领导的政府近年来面临的最显著的公众异议浪潮之一,首次做出重大让步。

这场运动始于一个多月前,起因是印度几大入学考试遭泄露的指控。最初它只是呼吁教育改革,后来逐渐演变为针对失业、政府问责和经济机会的更广泛抗议活动。学生、专业人士、民众和活动人士在新德里和印度其他城市参加了集会。

普拉丹辞职的消息让在新德里抗议营地驻扎了一个多月的数千名示威者欢欣鼓舞。许多人互相拥抱,挥舞着印度国旗。

普拉奇·库马尔是一名加入抗议活动的企业职员,她表示,普拉丹辞职对恢复教育体系的问责制至关重要。

“这是必须做的事。必须有人承担责任,”她说。

发起这场抗议运动的“蟑螂人民党”在普拉丹辞职后宣布胜利,并在X平台上写道:“民主获胜!”

这场示威是近年来莫迪政府面临的最持久的挑战之一,即便警方使用催泪瓦斯和警棍驱散游行人员后,仍有数千人重返街头。

周一局势升级,警方试图驱散数千名向议会行进的抗议者。多名学生在镇压行动中受伤,加剧了示威者的愤怒情绪。

莫迪政府此前曾试图缓和紧张局势,宣布设立快速审理考试泄题案件的专门法庭,并表示将出台立法,加强针对考试体系中作弊和腐败的防控措施。

但这些措施未能令抗议者满意,他们表示这些措施并未涉及政府问责问题。尽管普拉丹的辞职满足了他们的主要诉求,但运动领导人表示,他们的运动将继续进行,他们要求为那些在据称考试泄题后自杀的学生家属提供赔偿,并追究被指控使用过度武力的警察的责任。

“记住,别招惹(这只)蟑螂,”运动领导人阿比吉特·迪普克在一份书面声明中说道。

India’s education minister steps down after weeks of protests led by “Cockroach” party

India’s education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Saturday after weeks of protests that demanded his removal over alleged leaks in some of the country’s most competitive entrance exams and irregularities in the education system.

Pradhan announced the decision in a post on X, handing a major victory to the “Cockroach” movement, which has spearheaded nationwide demonstrations, sit-ins and hunger strikes. His resignation also marks the first significant concession by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to one of the most visible waves of public dissent it has faced in recent years.

The movement began more than a month ago after allegations of leaks in some of India’s biggest entrance exams. It started as a call for education reforms but has grown into a broader protest over unemployment, government accountability and economic opportunities. Students, professionals, families and activists have joined rallies in New Delhi and other cities across India.

News of Pradhan’s resignation sparked celebrations among the thousands of protesters who have camped at New Delhi’s protest site for more than a month. Many embraced each other and waved the Indian flag.

Prachi Kumar, a corporate employee who joined the protests, said Pradhan’s resignation was necessary to restore accountability in the education system.

“This had to be done. Someone must be held accountable,” she said.

The Cockroach Janta Party, which launched the protest movement, declared victory following the resignation, writing on X: “DEMOCRACY WINS!”

The demonstrations have become one of the most persistent challenges to Modi’s government in recent years, with thousands returning to the streets even after police used tear gas and batons to disperse marchers.

Tensions escalated on Monday when police moved to disperse thousands of protesters marching toward Parliament. Several students were injured in the crackdown, intensifying anger among demonstrators.

Modi’s government had earlier sought to ease tensions by announcing fast-track courts for cases involving exam paper leaks and saying it would introduce legislation to strengthen measures against cheating and corruption in the examination system.

The measures failed to satisfy protesters, who said they did not address government accountability. Although Pradhan’s resignation met their main demand, the movement leaders said their campaign would continue as they sought compensation for families of students who died by suicide after alleged exam paper leaks and action against police officers they accused of using excessive force.

“Remember, do not mess with (the) cockroach,” Abhijeet Dipke, a movement leader, said in a written statement.
