Indian students defy crackdown, continue 'cockroach movement' protests
Student-led 'cockroach movement' protests in New Delhi entered a third day, with demonstrators demanding the education minister's dismissal despite a heavy police crackdown.
For the third consecutive day, student protesters in India's capital, New Delhi, have taken to the streets, escalating their demand for the removal of the education minister. The movement, which calls itself the 'cockroach movement,' has remained defiant even after authorities used force to disperse crowds on Monday. The minister in question has stated that the government remains dedicated to educational reforms, but protesters argue he is incompetent and unfit for office. The protests are adding pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action. Despite the crackdown, the youth-led movement shows no signs of backing down. The so-called 'Cockroach Party' has vowed to continue until their demands are met.
