Abhijeet Dipke leads India's Gen Z protest movement

Abhijeet Dipke leads India's Gen Z protest movement

Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old political communications strategist, started a protest movement in India called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

The movement began after a Supreme Court judge compared unemployed youth to cockroaches.

Dipke's social media post went viral, and the CJP has since grown into a large protest demanding the resignation of the Education Minister over exam paper leaks and student suicides.

The protests have been peaceful, with Dipke urging protesters to remain calm while maintaining pressure on the government.

The movement has gained significant support, with tens of thousands of people participating in New Delhi and other parts of the country.
