CJP founder urges Modi to apologise for police crackdown on July 20 protest

Abhijeet Dipke, who started the Cockroach Janta Party, publicly demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi issue an apology for the police response on July 20 at Jantar Mantar. The incident involved students who were accused of confronting Modi during a demonstration. Dipke questioned whether the government would merely offer a symbolic forgiveness on social media or actually withdraw the legal cases filed against the demonstrators. His remarks came after Modi called for leniency toward the accused youths. The demand highlights tensions between activist groups and the administration over handling of dissent.
