The founder of a viral satirical party in India was slapped during a crowded rally in the northern city of Jaipur on Monday even as the youth-led anti-government movement continued to gain traction.
Abhijeet Dipke, who founded the Cockroach Janta Party last month to challenge Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government on issues of unemployment and botched exams, was hoisted on the shoulders of his supporters when two men emerged from the crowd and repeatedly slapped him.
