@sbsnews_au: Thousands of protesters were met with violence by authorities in New Delhi, India, this week as they marched to parliament to demand the education minister's resignation. Met with tear gas and police beatings, the demonstration marked one of the most serious confrontations in a youth-led movement's campaign against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The protesters describe themselves as a part of the Cockroach Janta Party - a movement that erupted online two months ago and now has millions of followers - and is demanding the resignation of the education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, over alleged leaks of examination papers. They are also calling for sweeping reforms to the examination system and compensation for families of students who died by suicide, whether over the leaks or exam results.
