Indian authorities heighten security, close park ahead of 'cockroach' movement rally
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
Indian authorities closed a central park in New Delhi on Friday to preempt a protest organized by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party. The demonstration is part of an ongoing series of near-daily rallies demanding the resignation of the country's chief election authority official.
The movement centers on allegations regarding a recent voter-roll revision. Critics claim the process resulted in the disenfranchisement of millions of citizens, with reports citing figures exceeding 130 million people removed from the electoral registry.
