‘Will not go back till CEC resigns’: CJP calls for fresh protest at Jantar Mantar on October 11
Addressing a press conference after police detained protesters, activists and political leaders during the October 10 demonstrations, Ajinkya Shinde, the CJP's national organisation in-charge, said the party would not retreat despite the detentions
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans for another protest at Jantar Mantar on October 11, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation following alleged electoral irregularities. Despite police detentions on October 10, CJP spokesperson Ajinkya Shinde vowed the party would not return home, stating a change in government policy has shown they have won half the fight.
The party claimed more than 15,000 people, including students, civil society members and political figures, faced detentions during the previous demonstration. They also alleged the government was attempting to create a divide between civil society groups and opposition parties. Delhi Traffic Police warned of potential traffic disruptions in New Delhi and central Delhi on October 11 due to law-and-order concerns, advising commuters to allow extra travel time.
