Amid the ongoing Cockroach Janata Party protest at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, the founder of the mass movement, Abhijeet Dipke,
arrived at the spot with no cockroaches allegedly supporting him. A video of the incident went viral on the internet, in which Dipke could be seen arriving at the spot with all the cameramen surrounding him. But surprisingly, not a single cockroach could be seen joining him, creating a mock movement for the party.
"Abhijeet Bhai tum aage Badho" (Go ahead, Abhijeet Bhai) was the cry
raised on his arrival, which expected a "Hum tumhare saath hai" response from his supporters, but to no avail. The cry remained unanswered, provoking the social media users to mock the protest.
"Abhijeet Dipke just arrived at Jantar Mantar, and the situation is hilarious. There aren't even 10 cockroaches around him, only media cameras. And when 1-2 cockroaches shouted "Abhijeet aage badho!", there wasn't even anyone to respond with "hum tumhare saath hain," one of the users said.
"Crowd support can't be manufactured by camera angles. If the loudest voices are the media cameras, the optics speak for themselves," one of the comments on the post read. "Cockroaches se jaada to media vale hain," another said.
"They forgot it’s a Saturday, and GenZ don't work on Saturday AF!"
"They have no basics... at least to take permission. Ironically, he is carrying a book..Holding a book has become a fashion..."
"I see more media members than protestors. Hilarious!!!!"
Thousands of protestors gathered at the Jantar Mantar site in Delhi after the protest call was laid out by the mass movement founder Abhijeet Dipke and his associate Saurav Das. The protestors raised loud slogans like "Tanashahi Nahi Chalegi", demanding the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak case. Notably, earlier Dipke and his associates had claimed that the protest would be peaceful, but the peace seems to have quit the protest.
Several videos of the protest appearing online show that the protestors came in hordes and attempted to heckle media reporters. One of the OpIndia reporters was gheraoed and targeted, the video of which was shared by Journalist Nupur J Sharma.
Another video showed Cockroaches demanding that the notorious Khan Sir or Sonam Wangchuk be India's Education Minister instead of Dharmendra Pradhan.
One of the videos also showed the protester raising the notorious leftist protest cry 'Azadi'.
Delhi Police rejected plea demanding regulation amid protest
Earlier, the Delhi HC
refused an urgent hearing on a crowd-control plea, a day after the CJP held a press conference announcing a protest without prior authorization. The plea, filed by NGO Save India Foundation, was mentioned before a vacation bench of Justices Saurabh Banerjee and Amit Sharma. The petitioner's counsel urged the court to take up the matter urgently, citing concerns about possible disruption from the planned CJP demonstration. However, the bench declined to grant an urgent hearing.
The PIL alleged that the Cockroach Janta Party had turned the youth into an "unregulated contingent" by "utilising overseas-tethered servers to execute a transnational institutional destabilization agenda".
It demanded that the June 6 mobilisation be either relocated to an alternative designated site or be strictly regulated with comprehensive videography of the proceedings to ensure that those who are "instigating" from "overseas jurisdictions", including the USA and Australia, are prevented from compromising airport security and essential emergency machinery.
CJP and its leftist association, founder supported separatists in Kashmir
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.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had
announced that he would return to India on June 6 and seek permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.“We are demanding accountability in the system,” Saurav Das added. “We have been demanding the resignation of the education minister, but no action has been taken against him to date. The transfers are being projected as action. It’s not. There’s a rot in the system,” he said.
The leftists' group has linked its campaign to concerns over alleged paper leaks, examination errors and the impact of these issues on students across the country.
