CJP calls for ‘Chalo Jantar Mantar’ protest on Sunday at 10 am

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has called for a "Chalo Jantar Mantar" protest on Sunday at 10 am, following the detention of thousands of individuals, including students, during the anti-EC protest on October 10. Ajinkya Shinde, the CJP’s national organisation representative, revealed the protest plans in a post on X. Shinde expressed frustration, stating that the Modi and Shah-led government detained all leaders, including Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurabh Das, as well as student leaders and volunteers, despite their initial demands for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.

He urged the public to join in large numbers and maintain protests until Kumar's resignation is secured. The CJP estimated that over 15,000 people, including students, civil society members, and political leaders, faced detention and police action. The party accused the government of using transport disruptions, such as canceled train and bus services, flight cancellations, metro station closures, and signal jammers, to impede peaceful assembly.

Srijan Bhattacharya of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) voiced solidarity with the protesters, condemning the administration's actions and emphasizing that democracy is not for sale.
