  "account": "Less than a month after the Jantar Mantar protest in New Delhi resulted in Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as Union education minister, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is rallying once again for change. This time, the focus is on Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Manan Mishra seeking his resignation. The All India Young Advocates Association initiated the protest on Thursday, garnering support from CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka. The protest stems from the ongoing controversy surrounding Mishra's actions against students at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad. Manan Mishra's order froze the enrollment of law graduates as advocates until further notice, following complaints from NALSAR University students about inviting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the convocation chief guest. In response to the protest, Das expressed support for all peaceful protests that promote accountability and high ethical standards in office. Ranka emphasized the importance of unity among legal professionals in demanding accountability and transparency. Ratna Singh, the legal affairs head of the Cockroach Janta Party, echoed these sentiments, stating that every peaceful protest is valid and deserves attention. The protest is set to take place today at 10 am outside the Bar Council of India office in New Delhi, with Aryan Mudgal, a content producer at Hindustan Times, covering the event.",
