Delhi CJP Protest News LIVE: CJP's Jantar Mantar 2.0 Today Despite No Permission
The Delhi Police has deployed over 40,000 personnel, including Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), in anticipation of a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar. The CJP, led by Abhijeet Dipke, is demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
According to the Hindustan Times, the CJP alleges that around 13 crore voters have been removed from the electoral roll. The group has previously raised the issue through protests and public statements, including a demonstration in Mumbai on October 2.
The Delhi Police has denied permission for the protest, citing public interest and a previous breakdown of law and order in the area. As a result, entry and exit gates at 45 Delhi Metro stations, including Rajiv Chowk, New Delhi, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, and Kashmere Gate, will remain closed. The police has also intensified vehicle checks at border points and deployed personnel at key entry and exit routes.
