Imran Khan asked to leave India by October 28; CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke urges Bollywood to back him

India's October 28 deadline looms for actor Imran Khan, as he faces deportation after participating in a Mumbai protest. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder, Abhijeet Dipke, has called upon Bollywood to support the popular actor, urging the industry to speak up for one of its own: "Bollywood, speak up! If not for anyone else, at least stand up for one of your own!"

Imran Khan's presence at the protest occurred after his participation in the CJP's October 10 demonstration in Delhi, organized by Tushar Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson. During the Mumbai protest, Imran and a small group sought to locate friends who had been apprehended by the police during unrelated demonstrations. Upon arriving at August Kranti Maidan, they discovered the area was heavily guarded by media and law enforcement, preventing them from joining any rally.

Imran Khan maintained he was simply exercising his right to be present in the city, emphasizing his desire to understand the limitations on freedom of movement and the suppression of voices.
