CJP’s Instagram handle briefly taken down, restored later
"What a shame that those who oppose CJP chose India's Independence Day to try to muzzle our voice. We will not be intimidated by such cowardly acts!" the outfit said in a post
The official Instagram account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was briefly taken down on Saturday morning, August 15, 2026, but was later restored. The party claimed the move was an attempt to silence their voice on Independence Day. The CJP, recently at the forefront of student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, accused opponents of attempting to muzzle their voice on the occasion of India's Independence Day.
They vowed they would not be intimidated by such "cowardly acts." CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke responded to the takedown, calling it "bloody cowardly." The account was restored later that day. The incident occurred amid a series of CJP campaigns, including their outreach on the condition of government and village schools, protests over student and education issues, and efforts to put youth-related concerns on the national agenda.
They had previously called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the youth in his Independence Day message, raising questions about unemployment, education, and young people's concerns. The CJP has also organized protests and campaigns around education, alleged irregularities in competitive exams, and other student-related issues, with Dipke becoming a prominent face for the outfit.
