A major political controversy erupted in the national capital after the Delhi Police detained several Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) activists, including Ashutosh Ranka, Sourav Das, and Ajinkya Shinde, who had arrived at Jantar Mantar to hoist the national tricolour. Strongly condemning the police crackdown, CJP leader Abhijit Dipake launched a scathing attack on the government, terming the arrests a glaring display of authoritarianism and a dictatorial mindset.<\/p>\n
Addressing the media following the detentions, Dipake questioned the moral and legal justification of the police action, asking how hoisting the national flag could ever be construed as a violation of law. “Since when has hoisting the Tricolour become illegal? Anyone who considers hoisting our national flag at Jantar Mantar a violation is a traitor to this country,” he asserted. Voicing deep concern over the detention conditions, Dipake warned authorities against denying the detainees immediate access to legal counsel, demanding that they be allowed to speak with their lawyers without arbitrary delays.<\/p>\n
Accusing the administration of treating public spaces as private property, Dipake emphasized that Jantar Mantar is not merely a geographic location, but an enduring symbol of democratic dissent representing 140 crore Indians. Reaffirming the party’s relentless stance, he declared that the protests and agitations will continue unabated until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar steps down from his post. The CJP leadership remains firm on its commitment to fight against what it calls systematic suppression of fundamental democratic rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
