India's Cockroach Movement Demands Education Minister's Resignation

India's Cockroach Movement Demands Education Minister's Resignation

In India, a group called the Cockroach Janta Party is protesting because they believe there is corruption in the education system.

They are upset because exam papers for medical school were leaked, which caused many students to have to retake the exams.

Some students even took their own lives because of this.

The protesters want the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to resign.

They also want the government to give money to the families of the students who died.

Thousands of people are protesting in New Delhi, and the government has promised to talk about their demands.

One protester, Sonam Wangchuk, is on a hunger strike until the government agrees to their demands.

The police have tried to stop the protests, but the protesters are determined to be heard.
