India politics: Hundreds of students join protest led by India's viral 'Cockroach Party'
Hundreds of Indian youth rallies have taken place in New Delhi for the first street protest under a viral satirical group, known as "Cockroach Janata Party". It is a movement born from a meme last month that has since become a vehicle for wider anger among young Indians over jobs, education and politics. Its message has resonated with many under-30s, who are estimated to make up more than half of India's population. The group's supporters took to the streets, calling for the resignation of India's education minister following alleged lapses in the examination system. Rebecca Bundhun reports.
