Cockroach Rally Held in Madurai 'Give Us Jobs, Not Insults'

In a novel and emotionally charged protest, hundreds of unemployed youth took to the streets of Madurai on Sunday, staging a first-of-its-kind 'Cockroach Rally' in Tamil Nadu. 

The demonstration was organised to voice opposition against severe unemployment and recent remarks made by a senior Supreme Court judge comparing jobless youth to cockroaches. 

The rally was jointly



organised by the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and the Students' Federation of India (SFI). It also received strong backing from supporters of the "Cockroach Janta Party", a satirical social media handle that recently took the internet by storm.

The march commenced from the Gandhi Museum premises and culminated in a massive demonstration in front of the Tamil Annai statue at the Thamukkam Grounds.
