Cockroach Movement Protests: 10,000 March, Police Clash as Minister Faces Demands
Police brutality against peaceful protesters demanding educational reform is a serious concern.
On Monday, more than 10,000 protesters from the Cockroach movement marched towards India’s parliament in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a crackdown on exam system corruption. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse them after Sonam Wangchuk, a veteran activist, was hospitalized. The protest coincided with the first day of parliament's monsoon session, drawing attention to recent medical entrance exam leaks that forced 2.2 million students to retake the test.
