Leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) said that India has seen a brazen display of dictatorship in the past 72 hours when protesters gathered for a march in Delhi to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The leaders were addressing the media on Sunday, October 11, soon after they were released from police custody a day after they were detained to stop them from attending the protest march.
CJP conveners Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were taken into custody from inside their flight as soon as they landed at the Delhi airport on October 10, and were released by the Special Executive Magistrate Court at the Delhi Cantt Police Station the next day, on the condition of “maintaining peace and good behaviour” for a year.
