‘Don’t fall into the trap’: Abhijit Dipke alleges govt pitting CJP against Oppn in anti-Gyanesh Kumar protests
Drawing a comparison with the INDIA bloc's protest on Monday, Dipke pointed out that the opposition demonstration did not face the kind of crackdown witnessed during the CJP protest on October 10.
Abhijit Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has accused the Union government of sowing discord and distrust among protesters opposing Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke advised citizens to avoid falling for conspiracy theories and to remain united in their opposition. He noted that while the CJP was allowed to protest, several people speculated that the group was a plant by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Dipke drew attention to the contrast between the treatment of the CJP protest on October 10 and the opposition demonstration on Monday, which did not face the same level of crackdown. Opposing the Chief Election Commissioner over alleged irregularities in the voters' roll revision, thousands gathered in a march led by Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi and Congress and other Opposition leaders.
Despite a recent Indian Express report alleging unilateral decisions by Kumar, Dipke warned that authorities could permit one protest while harshly treating another, thereby fueling conspiracy theories and diverting focus from the protesters' core issues.
