Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has expressed her support for the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests that took place in Delhi and spread to other parts of the country.

“The Indian students’ protests have made us all proud! They have given us hope! They show what we can achieve when people come together and protest. They show the true meaning of people power,” he said while participating in the celebratory rally organized by the Students Federation of India (SFI) in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Thunberg said, “The struggle of Indian students for justice and the broader struggle for democracy and liberation is also our struggle. So we all have to come together now and rise in solidarity with India.”

hello! I’m Midhat from the New Delhi bureau reporting to you as historic protests rock the Indian government and result in the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The protests, which also spread to cities outside Delhi, are still ongoing with protesters expressing their dissatisfaction on issues other than educational reforms.

While the government assured the CPI(M) leadership of no action against the protesters, authorities have reportedly continued to make arrests in connection with the demonstrations.

This movement has received massive support from people and students across the world.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg lent her support to the Cockroach Janata Party protest while attending a rally in London.

Meanwhile, India’s opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah over police brutality against students during the protests.

Stay tuned to know all this and more from India!
