Thousands gathered in Mumbai as the youth-led Cockroach movement demanded the election chief's resignation.
India's youth-led Cockroach movement, which calls itself the Cockroach Janta party (CJP), held nationwide protests on Friday with thousands of demonstrators gathering in Mumbai. The protests occurred amid heavy police presence and mounting concerns that millions of citizens are being unfairly removed from the voter roll, potentially denying them voting rights.
The movement, which has significant support among India's generation Z, called for the resignation of election commission chief Gyanesh Kumar. Protesters in both Mumbai and New Delhi took to the streets to voice their demands regarding the alleged changes to the voter registration system.
