'Ab Poora Desh Jantar Mantar Banega': CJP's Abhijeet Dipke After Delhi Police De-notifies Protest Site

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has vehemently criticized the Centre and Delhi Police for de-notifying Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site in Delhi. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke took a sharp dig at the government, dubbing it a "war zone" and stating that the site would soon be stripped of its protest rights. The authorities have designated Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground as alternative protest locations.

CJP co-convenor Saurav Das also lambasted the decision, questioning the Ministry of Home Affairs' consultation with citizens, organizations, and stakeholders. The move, they allege, is an arbitrary attempt to undermine citizens' fundamental right to protest and peacefully assemble. Critics have also questioned the choice of alternative venues, with one leader suggesting Mt Everest as a bizarre alternative.
