Police attack Cockroach activists as thousands march on Indian parliament

Police in India used tear gas and baton charges against demonstrators marching toward parliament in what the feed summary describes as one of the biggest challenges yet to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.

According to the monitored public feed from Al Jazeera Latest, more than 10,000 protesters took part in the rally. The march pressed ahead despite the police response, underscoring the scale of the confrontation outside India’s parliament.

The feed summary identifies the demonstrators as “Cockroach activists,” though it does not provide additional detail about the group or the causes behind the protest. It also does not specify the location beyond the march on Indian parliament or offer details on arrests, injuries, or the exact sequence of events.

The reported police action included both tear gas and baton charges, indicating a forceful attempt to stop the crowd from advancing. The summary frames the demonstration as the largest challenge so far to Modi’s administration, but does not elaborate on the political demands driving the mobilization.

This article is based on a monitored public feed and is limited to the details available in that feed summary. Novexa News has not independently added facts beyond the source description.
