No permission for CJP protest in Jantar Mantar — Delhi Police cites ‘serious’ law and order concerns

The Delhi Police has denied permission for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to stage a protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, citing serious law and order concerns. The police stated that granting the demonstration could lead to significant law-and-order issues and inconvenience to local residents and citizens. The CJP, which planned to protest against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, submitted their application for permission on October 7, three days before the proposed protest.

The police emphasized that the communication received from the CJP was an intimation rather than a formal permission application, and under established guidelines, applications to hold programmes at Jantar Mantar must be submitted at least 10 days prior to the event.
