NEW DELHI, ‌July 24 (Reuters) - Leaders ​of India's youth-led "cockroach" movement ⁠said the government has asked for time ​until Saturday afternoon to respond ‌on their demand for the education minister's resignation, ⁠after talks with ⁠two ministers on Friday.

The talks came hours after activist Sonam Wangchuk ‌ended his 26-day hunger ⁠strike, raising ‌hopes that the ​two sides could reach a breakthrough after ‌tens of thousands ​of ⁠angry youth converged in ‌the capital ⁠Delhi to demand the minister's resignation over exam ​paper leaks.
