'Cockroach' Party Protesters Storm India's Parliament
Protesters demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over exam paper leaks, and police deployed tear gas and batons after barring the march.
- On Sunday, Delhi police denied permission for a youth-led march on Parliament planned for Monday, July 20, citing strict security arrangements and prohibition orders in the New Delhi district.
- Tensions escalated after police forcibly moved hunger-striking activist Sonam Wangchuk to a hospital on Saturday, disrupting the protest site where supporters have camped at Jantar Mantar for more than three weeks.
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke confirmed the march will proceed despite the ban, while protesters escalated demands from Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's, framing it as "India's 2nd FREEDOM MOVEMENT."
- A Delhi court ruled authorities acted legally by transferring Wangchuk to a government hospital, though his wife Gitanjali Angmo continues to seek his transfer to private Medanta Hospital.
- The Cockroach Janta Party's rise reflects deep frustrations among young Indians over high unemployment and frequent exam paper leaks, with police and paramilitary forces now deployed ahead of the monsoon session opening.
