India's 'Cockroach' party accuses government of mass detention of members ahead of weekend protest

A political party known as the 'Cockroach' party has accused the Indian government of mass detention of its members in the lead-up to a weekend protest.

The party claims that authorities have arrested or detained multiple party workers to prevent them from participating in the planned demonstration. The party views these actions as an attempt to suppress dissent and restrict their right to peaceful assembly.

The allegations come as tensions rise between the party and government authorities over the right to protest and freedom of expression.
