India’s ‘cockroach movement’ says founder picked up by police

-

NEW DELHI, ‌July 20 (Reuters) - India's ​youth-led 'cockroach movement' said on Monday that ⁠its founder Abhijeet Dipke was "picked up" by police as ​two other leaders held talks with ‌Health Minister J.P. Nadda amid protests demanding the resignation of the ⁠education minister.

"While we ⁠submit a written letter...he (Nadda) has assured us that he will meanwhile speak internally. We ‌are in that process," chief ⁠spokesperson Saurav Das ‌said on X ​after meeting the minister for "10 minutes".

The talks were held ‌as thousands of ​supporters attempted ⁠to march on parliament demanding ‌the resignation ⁠of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ​over medical ‌college entrance test paper leaks.
