Stage set for Sunday showdown: CJP to march again tomorrow; traffic advisory issued
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has scheduled another demonstration in Delhi's Jantar Mantar for Sunday, following a previous attempt that was disrupted by heavy security measures and mass arrests. Delhi's traffic authorities have issued a warning of potential disruptions across key roads and intersections due to the possibility of clashes between protesters and security forces.
Over 7,000 protesters were detained in Delhi on Saturday, including CJP leader Abhijit Dipke, former chief ministers, opposition leaders, student activists, lawyers and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. The CJP's announcement has sparked a political conflict, with opposition parties accusing the government of suppressing dissent and the ruling party defending police actions.
The Delhi Traffic Police has advised commuters to account for delays while traveling through central Delhi and other affected areas, listing 30 potential points of congestion.
