Supporters of the youth-led "Cockroach" movement in India stated they would continue protests in New Delhi following a police crackdown. The group is advocating for educational reforms and increased government accountability.
The demonstration follows recent police actions intended to disperse crowds in the capital. Organizers stated that the move by authorities has not changed their goal of pursuing structural changes to the country's education system.
The movement, largely comprised of students and young activists, has gained attention for its specific demands regarding legislative oversight. Government officials have not released a formal statement regarding the continuation of the protests or the specific demands for reform.
