Chaos erupted outside India's parliament as thousands attempted to storm the building, amid growing protests challenging Modi's government. The ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ began as a satirical online movement. Now it's become something far bigger.
Al Jazeera’s Ava Warriner explains.
Visuals from the Parliament have security forces taking firing positions. Please don’t shoot at our country’s youth. They’re not making any unreasonable demands. They just want accountability for students dying because of govt incompetence!
How can this be the response?
