INDIAN CELEBRITIES FIERCELY CRITICISED FOR SILENCE ON COCKROACH PROTESTS

According to India | The Guardian, a wave of demonstrations erupted this week across India as hundreds of thousands of young people marched under the banner of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The protests, sparked by widespread allegations of exam‑paper leaks, target Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and have accused the country’s biggest film stars of “cowardice” for remaining silent amid the unrest.

The CJP, a new youth‑led movement, has mobilised a broad base of students demanding accountability and reforms in the education system. In response to the protests, The Guardian reports that a prominent Cockroach activist ended a 26‑day hunger strike as demonstrations spread. In a separate development, India’s education minister announced resignation in what The Guardian describes as a victory for the youth movement.

These events come at a time of growing frustration over alleged corruption in India’s examination processes and a perceived lack of engagement from celebrated public figures in civic matters.
