Thousands have gathered again in the Indian capital Delhi a day after a police crackdown on supporters of India's Cockroach Janta Party, a youth-led movement seeking education reforms and resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Tens of thousands of young men and women had turned up for Monday's protest and tried to march on parliament, defying a police ban. Central Delhi witnessed overwhelming violence, with at least 60 protesters wounded when police used batons and tear gas on them. Policemen also tore down the stage and makeshift tents at the main protest venue. Police said 118 of their personnel were also injured and 70 protesters have been detained.
