India’s ‘cockroach’ leaders hold talks with government after huge protests
For weeks India’s government has done its best to ignore escalating protests by young people calling themselves ‘cockroaches’, after a slur by the country’s top judge.
That changed late on Thursday night, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi put out a video promising a tough new law on exam paper leaks, the issue that fuelled their anger.
At talks on Friday, the government asked for a day to decide on the protesters’ biggest demand: the education minister’s resignation.
