A satirical Gen Z-led movement called the Cockroach Janta Party has gained momentum across India as citizens demand educational reforms and government accountability from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration.
While the protests were sparked by repeated exam paper leaks like the NEET medical entrance exam, the movement stems from a history of unemployment and limited economic opportunities for India’s youth.
Frustrated NDTV reporter forgot to switch off the mic on Marya Shakil's show and said “Pahle kahenge update do.. update do.. fir fake news chalwa ke kahenge fake kyu diya”
By the time he realized it was too late. 🥲
VIDEO | Delhi: Advocates at the Supreme Court read the Constitution's Preamble in support of the Jantar Mantar protest and against police action.
Advocate Indira Jaising says, "We are here to stand with the students. We are here to stand on the side of justice. We are here to demand justice for the students. We are not here to agitate for ourselves. This is not about us. This concerns the rights of students, and it is the duty of lawyers to stand before the Supreme Court and demand justice for them. The role and function of the Supreme Court of India is to dispense justice. That is why we are here, in the temple of justice, with our demands."

▶️ #WATCH | Senior Supreme Court Advocate Mehmood Pracha @MehmoodPracha reached at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
He talked with the media and said that :
➡️ I am telling you, listen carefully, all of you. I have a request for the corrupt police officers as well as the honest ones. Every single corrupt police officer is being recorded on video. We will not spare them.
➡️ The Constitution of India will not spare them. Keep this in mind. Those who have committed these excesses will be handpicked and the Constitution and law of India will ensure they are sent to jail.
➡️ And we, the lawyers, are the tools of that process. We understand our responsibility as lawyers, and I am very sorry and apologize for being late. I have already explained the reason, but now I have arrived with my entire team.
➡️ Lawyers will stand here like a shield. You want to take any legal action? No problem. No one will raise a stick.
➡️ And I have a request for the honest police officers: it is your responsibility to stop such corrupt people from attacking the owners, the citizens.
➡️ Secondly, you should make entries in your personal diaries that such and such officer performed this action today. If you want to save yourselves from the Constitution and law of India, this is my request to honest officers, even if you have to do it secretly, honest police officers should just collect evidence.
➡️ Our job as lawyers is to take on all those who are shedding the blood of children here, breaking bones, attacking them, and filing false cases.
➡️ I have the most experience in this country in getting children out of these false cases.

One fearless young woman stood in front of a police van during the Mumbai student protests, refusing to back down.
Courage can't be bought. Justice can't be silenced. Salute to her. 🫡🫡
The Gurudwara and the Mosque in Central Delhi opened their gates for injured protesters.
Why did the Hanuman Mandir in the vicinity shut its gates instead?
