Cockroach party

India's Cockroach party led thousands of youth in a protest to parliament demanding the removal of the education minister. The movement began as a satirical platform but has grown, spurred by the forced hospitalization of a hunger-striking social activist.

Indian police forcibly hospitalized Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent activist, after his health declined during a 20-day hunger strike linked to the Cockroach Party movement for education reform. The movement demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and seeks reforms following exam paper leaks and student suicides. The Cockroach Party accused authorities of abducting Wangchuk, while police cited medical advice and a court directive for his hospitalization.
