Delhi protest crackdown leaves dozens injured as Cockroach Janta Party demands reforms

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Tens of thousands of protesters from the Cockroach Janta Party marched in Delhi on Monday, demanding changes to India's education system and job policies. The protest turned violent when authorities cracked down, leaving scores of demonstrators hospitalized with fractures, head injuries, and eye injuries. Party leaders met with BJP president J.P. Nadda, calling for the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is leading the protest, described the government's response as 'brutal' and vowed to continue his hunger strike until parliament members meet with youth leaders or him. The Cockroach Janta Party has gained rapid popularity due to widespread anger over unemployment and the education system. Despite police warnings, the march proceeded, drawing tens of thousands of participants. The government has not officially commented on the injuries or the demands.
