In Delhi, India's busy, bustling capital and the seat of its sprawling government,
it's anything but business as usual.
Police unleashed tear gas and used batons to fight off thousands of protesters
who'd gathered to march on Parliament, seeking answers from the Modi government.
The police are now firing tear gas into the protesters who had breached the barriers
and rushed towards Parliament and they had almost reached the compounds of Parliament
and now we are seeing them charging the protesters.
It was bigger than anything I've ever seen before. Way bigger.
I can say with absolute certainty it was the biggest protest Delhi has seen.
The scenes have been quite astonishing, judging by the numbers alone.
This at least seems like a significant challenge to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
So what's caused these protests?
Why is it being called the cockroach movement?
And how serious a threat is it to India's strongman Prime Minister, Narendra Modi?
The story today: Modi's cockroach problem.
A group of young students have been on protest at a popular site
which is designated for protest called Jantar Mantar since around June 20th.
