India's Cockroach Janata Party Protests, Demands Education Minister's Resignation

New Delhi. Supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a political campaign born out of mockery and despair in India, are continuing their sit-in protest in the capital New Delhi, demanding the resignation of India's Education Minister. Defying police orders, protesters are spending nights on roads and footpaths.

More young people have joined the protest, which began in the scorching heat of June. Abhijit Dipke, a leader of the movement, has returned to India and brought the movement, which was limited to social media, to the streets. Nearly half of India's 1.4 billion population is under 25 years old.
