Cockroach People's Party Protest in New Delhi Highlights Youth Discontent
Hundreds of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical social media movement in India, gathered in New Delhi to protest against the government. The protest was organized in response to comments made by India's Chief Justice Surya Kant, who likened young government critics to 'cockroaches' and 'parasites'. The CJP, inspired by these remarks, has gained significant traction online, amassing over 22.2 million followers on Instagram. The protestors, many wearing cockroach masks, demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan following an exam irregularity controversy. The movement reflects a broader trend of youth-led protests across South Asia, driven by social media and dissatisfaction with traditional politics.
