CJP leaders to seek protest date from Delhi police tomorrow
Members of the Cockroach Janata Party will visit the Parliamentary Street Police Station on Monday to demand a scheduled date for a peaceful Jantar Mantar demonstration.
The Cockroach Janata Party announced that its leadership, headed by Saurav Das, will go to the Parliamentary Street Police Station in Delhi at 10 a.m. on Monday to request an official date for a peaceful rally at Jantar Mantar. In a statement, the party gave the Delhi Police a 24-hour deadline to supply the date, saying it would issue its own protest call if the deadline passes. The move follows the recent detention of CJP figures such as Abhijeet Dipke and Ashutosh Ranka amid a sweeping security operation that detained more than 7,000 protesters at various sites as police blocked access to the historic protest venue.
The party emphasizes its intent to hold a non-violent demonstration, while authorities have so far not responded with a confirmed schedule. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the CJP and law-enforcement agencies over the right to assemble.
Why it matters
It shows the clash between a political party's protest plans and police control over public assemblies in Delhi.
