‘Open emergency-like situation’, alleges CJP; vows to continue protests
At the media briefing, CJP’s co-convenor Saurav Das said that “the state is at a war with its own citizens”
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced that protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar will resume following his recent release from preventive arrest. Since their arrest on 10 October, protesters, including Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka, have been staging massive demonstrations against alleged irregularities in the voter roll cleanup under SIR.
Dipke stated, "Haven’t signed any bond that says we won’t protest. We will hit the streets again." The activists were released on condition they do not cause any breach of peace for a year. While supporters praised Dipke's resolve, critics accused CJP of protesting without permission, causing distress to the public.
