Following a recent crackdown, Indian protesters have pledged to keep marching, intensifying pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After a police crackdown on protest sites earlier this week, demonstrators across the country have vowed to continue their marches, aiming to keep the pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Security forces used tear gas and made several arrests during the crackdown, which was met with sharp criticism from opposition leaders and civil‑rights groups.
The protesters say their demands include economic reforms, greater transparency in governance, and a more inclusive political process.
Prime Minister Modi’s office has called the protests unlawful, but the resolve of the demonstrators suggests that the movement will persist until their concerns are addressed.
