Hundreds of students who call themselves “cockroaches” have been camping out for three days in the Indian capital, demanding the resignation of a senior minister in Narendra Modi’s government and reforms to the country’s education system.
Gen-Z supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a non-political movement born out of self-deprecating humour, braved the sweltering June heat to assemble at New Delhi’s designated protest site, Jantar Mantar, on Saturday.
