Cockroach Janta Party protesters clash with police, 60 wounded in Delhi unrest
Police violence against peaceful protesters seeking education reform is a serious concern.
Thousands gathered again in Delhi a day after police cracked down on supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement seeking education reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. At least 60 protesters were wounded as police used batons and tear gas; 70 protesters have been detained. Opposition parties condemned the violence, with leader Rahul Gandhi leading a march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's house. The CJP continues protests despite government warnings and meetings, demanding accountability for recent exam leaks and alleged misconduct.
