Indian Youth Protest Demands Education Minister's Removal

In the capital city, demonstrators gathered outside Parliament House to demand the dismissal of the Minister of Education. The march, organized by a youth‑led group, drew thousands of participants who carried signs and chanted slogans calling for a change in the ministry’s leadership.

The movement, known as the Cockroach Movement, began as a satirical platform for young activists but has since expanded into a broader political campaign. Protesters intensified their efforts after a hunger‑striking social activist was forcibly transferred to a hospital against his will, an act that many see as a violation of his rights and a catalyst for the current unrest.

The demonstration continues as activists seek accountability and reforms in the education sector. While the government has not yet responded to the demands, the sustained pressure from the youth movement highlights growing discontent with the minister’s policies and the handling of dissent.
