India police use tear gas to stop march on Parliament by Cockroach movement supporters

India police used tear gas and batons to block supporters of the Cockroach movement from marching to Parliament to demand the education minister’s resignation. The movement, which originated after a Supreme Court comment likening unemployed youth to cockroaches, has grown into a youth-led campaign fueled by anger over exam leaks and systemic issues. Government representatives held initial outreach talks with movement leaders amid a tense standoff.
