Sonam, it's done bro: Memes flood social media after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation
After Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, social media erupted with memes, celebratory Bollywood edits and the viral 'Sonam, it's done bro' trend celebrating the moment.
Minutes after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced his resignation on Saturday, social media switched from protest updates to punchlines. What had been weeks of protest videos, slogans and livestreams turned into a flood of memes, celebratory edits and tongue-in-cheek reactions.
As the news broke, X and Instagram were soon flooded with memes.
Social media users recycled popular Bollywood scenes, replacing dialogue with references to the resignation. Viral templates featuring Welcome, Hera Pheri, Golmaal and Phir Hera Pheri found a new purpose, while reaction GIFs of people dancing and celebrating quickly filled timelines.
Another wave of posts featured dramatic "mission accomplished" edits. Protest videos from Jantar Mantar were paired with victory music, confetti animations and captions declaring, "Task completed." Several clips showed students breaking into celebrations moments after the announcement, with many calling it the movement's biggest milestone so far.

The humour didn't stop there.
Among the biggest trends on X was the now-viral phrase, "Sonam, it's done bro." The line, which originated from a recently viral Salman Khan clip in which the actor casually says, "Sonam, it's done bro," has become the internet's go-to reaction whenever a long-awaited task is finally completed.
Within minutes of Pradhan's resignation, X users began flooding the platform with the phrase, using it as a humorous way to signal that the protesters had achieved one of their key demands.
Throughout the CJP movement, humour has been one of its defining features. Protesters have mixed serious demonstrations with internet culture, creating reels, parody songs, dance videos and viral one-liners that spread almost as quickly as updates from the ground.
Pradhan stepped down following weeks of nationwide protests led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a youth-led movement that emerged over the exam leak controversy and demanded accountability from the education ministry. His resignation marked one of the biggest developments since the protests began.
As the movement gathered momentum, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also addressed the protesting students through a video message that many on social media described as being "Gen Z-coded."
Instead of a conventional political address, the video featured internet-style references, relatable language and a conversational tone aimed at connecting with younger audiences.
