CPI Leader Hails 'Cockroach' Protest as Symbol of Youth Resistance

A senior leader from the Communist Party of India (CPI), Dr. K. Narayana, said that the term 'Cockroach' has become a symbol of youth protest in India.

He was talking to reporters in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.

He said that the youth are protesting against what they see as lies and arrogance from the government.

The Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of India made comments that the protesters felt were meant to make them look bad.

But instead, these comments made the protesters even more determined.

Dr. Narayana also praised the youth for their bravery and said their protest is a good example of standing up for democracy.

He also paid his respects to a late CPI leader, Pamujula Dasaradharamaiah, who had recently passed away.
