A local court has sent three top CJP (Citizens for Justice and Peace) leaders to five days of judicial custody following their arrest for allegedly entering Jantar Mantar by force and obstructing police duty. Amid escalating tensions, the detained leaders have vowed to challenge the order legally, while launching a scathing attack on the Centre by comparing its current rule to the oppressive British Raj.<\/p>\n
The three CJP leaders\u2014Sourabh Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde\u2014were produced before a magistrate at Mandir Marg on Wednesday morning. According to police, the arrests were made after they breached bond conditions to enter Jantar Mantar and obstructed law enforcement personnel from performing their official duties. Following the hearing, the court ordered them into a five-day remand, sending them directly to jail.<\/p>\n
Reacting strongly to the court\u2019s decision, the detained CJP leaders announced they would appeal the ruling. Ajinkya Shinde told reporters in a fierce tone, “The country should not be run by Narendra Modi or Amit Shah; it must be governed strictly by the Constitution and the law of the land.” He further added that their struggle against the current administration would continue, drawing a sharp parallel between the ruling dispensation’s tactics and British colonial rule.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke reached Delhi on Wednesday morning and raised a provocative question regarding the police action: “Is hoisting the Tricolour at Jantar Mantar a crime?” Addressing the media, he criticized the government, stating, “If the government wants to suppress the opposition’s voice, it should have the courage to admit it openly. The Centre should officially declare a state of emergency in the country.”<\/p>\n
The fallout from these high-profile arrests has sent shockwaves through the political and activist landscape in the national capital. Protests are set to intensify as student and youth organizations mobilize against the police crackdown. Reports indicate that prominent groups including DYFI-SFI and AISF-AIYF will stage massive protest marches later in the evening on Wednesday, signaling further political confrontation ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
