Cockroach Janata Party announces ‘Season 2 of Jantar Mantar’ protests
New Delhi: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced that a new round of protests, which he termed “Season 2 of Jantar Mantar”, will begin soon, stating that the BJP is afraid of the country’s youth.
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a public meeting in Delhi, Dipke said people had been asking on social media when “Season 2 of Jantar-Mantar” would start. “I want to tell them that Season 2 of ‘Jantar-Mantar’ is going to start very soon,” he said.
Dipke said that the CJP was unable to find a venue for its volunteers’ meeting in Delhi as several hall owners cited “pressure from above”. He claimed that even after securing a hall, its owners received threats on the morning of the meeting. “They were told that if they allowed the CJP meeting to take place here, they would be hung upside down,” he alleged.
“All of this is being done by the BJP. Their actions and words clearly reveal that they are afraid of the country’s youth. If they think such petty actions will frighten us, they are sorely mistaken,” Dipke said.
The announcement comes after the CJP led a 37-day-long protest at Jantar Mantar, which was withdrawn on July 25 following the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan and assurances on other key demands.
CJP Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said the party has now embarked on a nationwide ‘listening tour’ to hear the public. “This itself is Season Two. Protests are taking place across the country against such incompetent governments and officers,” he said, adding that the party will run a campaign and is prioritising the issue of education starting from Independence Day.
