He warned that if no action is taken within the next seven days to remove the minister or secure his resignation, the movement will be taken to the ground on a much larger scale. He also said that he would address supporters through a live session on Instagram to outline the next phase of the campaign. Although the protest at Jantar Mantar concluded after several hours of sloganeering and demonstrations on Saturday, the organisers have given the government one week to respond. CJP spokesperson Ashish Ranka said the government has seven days to act. He stated that either Dharmendra Pradhan should resign with dignity or Prime Minister Narendra Modi should remove him from office. "If that does not happen, the movement will spread across the country," Ranka said, adding that the time has come for changes in India's education system and that the process has begun from Jantar Mantar.
