Mass march by Cockroach movement meets police crackdown at Delhi Parliament
TL;DR Summary
More than 10,000 protesters from the youth-led Cockroach movement marched on India’s Parliament in New Delhi, braving tear gas and baton charges as they demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a crackdown on corruption in the exam system after last month’s leaked papers and the hospitalisation of veteran activist Sonam Wangchuk. The march coincided with the monsoon session and followed government talks, highlighting the movement’s rapid growth from online satire to large-scale street action.
