Leaders of the youth-led "Cockroach" movement are meeting with government officials in India today to address a standoff that has sparked ongoing nationwide protests. The demonstrations, organized by the Cockroach Janta Party, show no signs of abating, as organizers have stated that the protests will continue until their specific demands are met.

The movement represents the most significant youth-led challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration since he took office in 2014. In response to the unrest, authorities have extended a mobile internet shutdown in the capital, New Delhi, as the government attempts to negotiate a resolution to the escalating situation.
