India’s Cockroach Movement Supporters Gather to March Despite Police Ban The latest development in India's ongoing youth led protests, dubbed the "cockroach" movement, has brought the nation to a standstill.
Hundreds of supporters gathered in New Delhi on Monday, defying a police ban on the march, to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam paper leaks that have affected millions of students.
The movement's leader, activist Sonam Wangchuk, has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28. From his hospital bed, he wrote a handwritten note expressing frustration with the government's inaction.
