‘Why is Delhi guarded like India-Pak border?’: Dipke claims PM Modi shielding CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Dipke was joined by Neha Bora, Aishe Ghosh, advocate Prashant Bhushan and actor Prakash Raj for the press conference ahead of Friday's protest.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of launching a "war against their own countrymen" to safeguard Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke questioned the police actions against protesters and opposition leaders demanding Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral irregularities.
At a press conference with AISA leader Neha Bora, SFI leader Aishe Ghosh, and actor Prakash Raj, Dipke criticized the government's heavy-handed response to the demonstrations. He alleged that the crackdown on demonstrators and the detention of student leaders had turned Delhi into a heavily fortified zone. Dipke specifically criticized the treatment of the national flag during peaceful protests, suggesting it was viewed as a violation of the law.
The controversy deepened after CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to Tihar Jail for violating police orders.
