The founder of India's online "cockroach" movement said on Sunday Prime Minister Narendra Modi was an "embarrassment" to the country, soon after being released from detention.
"Modi, as PM, is an embarrassment to
India," Abhijeet Dipke said in a social media post. "Never has this
country seen a bigger coward and bully," said the Cockroach Janta Party
founder, who was detained on Saturday before planned protests over electoral
roll revisions.
