A protest movement across India calling for the resignation of the election chief has been joined by a group calling itself ‘Cockroaches’, according to The Financial Express.
Protesters in several Indian cities have taken to the streets demanding that the chief of the Election Commission step down. The demonstrations, which have been ongoing for several days, cite concerns over the commission’s handling of recent electoral processes.
In a recent development, a collective identifying itself as “Cockroaches” announced its participation in the rallies. The group’s statement, released on social media, expressed solidarity with the broader movement and reiterated the call for the election chief’s resignation.
Authorities have noted the growing size of the protests but have not provided a timeline for any official response. The inclusion of new participants such as “Cockroaches” underscores the expanding reach of the campaign across different sections of civil society.
The protests remain peaceful, with organizers urging demonstrators to maintain non‑violent conduct while pressing their demands. The situation continues to be monitored by law‑enforcement agencies.
