  "summary": "Abhijeet Dipke, leader of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has refuted allegations that his party's protests are disrupting businesses and dampening festive spirits in New Delhi. Dipke argued that government-imposed restrictions, internet shutdowns, and curbs on citizens' movement are the real culprits behind economic disruption, not peaceful demonstrations. He emphasized that CJP has always followed Mahatma Gandhi's principles of peace and non-violence, citing multiple peaceful protests held across various cities. Dipke criticized attempts to portray his party as anarchist for questioning the government and organizing protests, stating that demanding accountability from elected representatives is a fundamental expression of democracy.",
