A day after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests that happened in the city of Pune, Maharashtra, several chats from the proposed 'CJP Protest Group' on WhatsApp showcased how the participants, 'concerned about education,' celebrated the event by consuming alcohol.

As per the exclusive information obtained by Newsbharati, the CJP protest saw more social media users, media personnel, and YouTubers who had gathered at the spot for content generation. And the rest, who were actually a part of the protest, could be seen politicising the entire protest.
The videos of the protest posted online showed how the 'student participants' demanded to politicise the matter of education, demanding that every politician in the system must allegedly resign over this issue. As per the report by the Hindustan Times, not more than 300 participants gathered at the protest site.
In another such video posted on social media, the crowd could be seen allegedly heckling and abusing the journalists, calling them biased. The slogans they raised read, "Godi Media Haye Haye, Godi media Haye Haye."
Interestingly, 30 leftist organizations from several parts of Maharashtra had extended support to the CJP protest in Pune. These groups included DYFI, Naujawan Bharat Sabha, AIYF, AISF, CITU, CPIM, Kabir Kala Manch, Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti, Bhima Koregaon Shaurya Din Prerana Abhiyan, and more. A detailed list can be checked out here.
The more concerning part amid this was the separatist war cries 'Azadi' that were raised by the 'student protesters' during the protest in Delhi. The "Azadi" cry has a clear documented genealogy, from Pakistan-backed separatism in 1989-90, amplified by Benazir Bhutto during the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits, institutionalised as a separatist war cry in the Valley, and then transplanted into Indian university campuses, first at JNU in 2016, then more widely during anti-CAA protests in 2019-20.

And now the same cries were heard in the Cockroach Janata Party protest. The CJP has long been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging mismanagement in the education sector. The party founder, Abhijeet Dipke, closely associated with the AAP, also claimed that the youth power was enough to get the government on its knees. Notably, it was reported earlier that Dipke had supported separatists in Jammu and Kashmir during the abrogation of Article 370. It was also reported how the leftist mass movement attracted more than 49% of Pakistani supporters.

India’s democratic framework allows citizens to form associations, movements, and political organisations, as long as they function within the constitutional boundaries of the Republic. The so-called Cockroach Janata Party may present itself as a people’s movement or an anti-establishment campaign, but several aspects of its rhetoric and conduct raise serious constitutional and ethical concerns. Even if the group eventually seeks formal political recognition, its ideology and methods would struggle to align with the spirit and values of the Indian Constitution.
The chat screenshots were leaked to Newsbharati by one of the group members who requested anonymity over the issue. In the chats, one identified as Palash could be allegedly seen motivating the youngsters to consume alcohol as a part of the celebration after the so-called protest. He asked all those who consume alcohol to gather at the Hidden Place restaurant in the Koregaon Park region of the city.
"Those who drink get drunk, those who don't chindaain khaao," Palash said. On this, the other 'student participant' asked, "Are we getting some beers for ourselves?" To which Palash replied, "Yes, gather at the Hidden Place, KP."
In another set of leaked chats, a poster can be seen rolling around the group reading 'Dharam Sharam Kar' (Have some shame, Religion), hinting at alleged anti-Hindu agenda of the CJP protest in Pune. Another 'student' participant says, "This is a wild poster, please use this."

Around 300 protesters have gathered at the designated protest site inside the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus as the Cockroach Janta Party's nationwide agitation gets underway.

The protest yesterday came days after the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, failed miserably, with the protesters unaware of why they had gathered or whom they were protesting against. The protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) was launched to demand the resignation of the Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak scam. However, several of the alleged 'paid' participants didn't know why they had gathered, what the purpose of the protest was, and whom the protest was against. A detailed report regarding the same can be read here.
