The Modi government has decided that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is a ‘threat’ to national security. Earlier this week, its X handle with approximately 200,000 followers was withheld in India under Section 69(A) of the IT Act after the Intelligence Bureau flagged its content as a national security risk, citing with alarm that it was “gaining traction among young people”, according to a report in The Indian Express.
Its Instagram account, with more than 21 million followers, is reportedly next. The party is barely a week old.
