Six people were detained during the protest of the "Cockroach Party" in Delhi, India.

Six people were detained during a peaceful protest against Indian Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in the capital, Delhi police said. This was reported on June 6 by the Times of India newspaper.

The demonstration was organized by the youth "Cockroach Party", which has become popular on social networks in recent days, having gathered more than 20 million subscribers. For comparison, just over 9 million people have subscribed to the page of the ruling Indian People's Party.

The rally was held in the center of New Delhi with the participation of hundreds of people, including the founder of the party, Abhijit Deepke, who returned from the United States. The demonstrators carried books, national flags, flowers and masks in the form of cockroaches. Mostly students and young professionals came out to protest.

"Six people were detained by the police to prevent possible clashes between groups during the demonstration of the Cockroach Party," the newspaper notes.

After the rally, a representative of the organization held a press conference and demanded that Pradhan be dismissed within seven days.
