India: Cockroach party denied permission to protest in Delhi, founder Dipke pushes on
Train cancelations have been reported in Delhi ahead of CJP’s protest tomorrow. There is heavy security in the capital. A permission to protest has been denied but CJP's leader has vowed to press on with the plan.
Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), recently criticized the central government for canceling several trains ahead of the party's planned protest in Delhi on October 10. The CJP founder questioned the government's fear of youth participating in the demonstration, suggesting that if the authorities were truly apprehensive, they should shut down the entire country.
Dipke made these remarks to reporters in Mumbai following the cancellation of specific Mail and Express trains destined for two major Delhi railway stations on the day of the protest. The CJP has also called for the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation, alleging irregularities in the Election Commission's review process of electoral rolls.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police have sought to close 57 metro stations to limit the movement of young people who may travel to Delhi for the demonstration. Despite the government's decision to deny the CJP permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar, Dipke argued that no such authorization was necessary for a demonstration already designated for public gatherings.
