India's 'Cockroach' protesters remain on New Delhi streets after violent clashes | ABC NEWS

Hundreds of Cockroach Janta Party protesters have refused to disperse and leave the Jantar Mantar protest site in New Delhi after violent clashes with authorities.
The movement’s founder Abhijeet Dipke is urging demonstrators to remain calm and peaceful after Indian police and paramilitary deployed tear gas, smoke bombs and sound cannons against angry crowds.
The unrest is the biggest challenge to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his third term, as the Cockroach Janta Party is demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over failures surrounding the country’s National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET).
