Ministry of Labour Breaks Silence on CJP: 'Youth Unemployment Is a Priority, Not a Joke'

After weeks of official silence, India's Ministry of Labour and Employment issued a statement acknowledging the youth unemployment concerns that have driven the Cockroach Janta Party's rise — without naming CJP once. 'Youth unemployment is a priority, not a joke,' a ministry spokesperson said, a phrase that social media immediately noted reads as a direct, if unacknowledged, response to the movement's language.
