India's Cockroach protests vow to continue despite police crackdown
The leaders of India's youth-led Cockroach movement are vowing to continue protesting a day after police cracked down on demonstrators.
They have been demanding the country's education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resign amid repeated leaks for entrance tests to medical schools.
While two of the movement's members met with a government minister on July 20th, India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, is failing to address the issue for now.
