Police block thousands of ‘cockroach’ protesters marching on India’s parliament
Thousands of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led protest movement, took to the streets of Delhi, defying a police ban to march to parliament and demand the resignation of India's education minister.
