India Today ·
The Cockroach Janata Party has announced a protest at Central Park in Connaught Place, New Delhi, on 16 October, following the five-day judicial remand of its leaders Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka to Tihar Jail. CJP chief Abhijeet Dipke called on citizens to assemble with the national flag, while opposition leaders from the Trinamool Congress, Congress, and Left student bodies extended support against police crackdowns. Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, SFI representative Aishi Ghosh, and CJP spokesperson Rohit Patel questioned the restrictions on peaceful assembly and the de-notification of Jantar Mantar. BJP spokesperson Dr Ajay Alok countered the claims, stating that demonstrations in prohibited public spaces violate lawful conduct. Meanwhile, Indian Youth Congress leaders have challenged the Jantar Mantar de-notification in the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court.
