Dipke warns of countrywide agitations if Delhi's Jantar Mantar shut to protesters
Oct-13-2026

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke warned that banning demonstrations at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar would lead to the emergence of protest sites across the country. Dipke said that if police stop him on his way to Delhi, he would begin the agitation from wherever he is detained. He also said that he intends to reach the national capital on Wednesday to join CJP’s ongoing demonstration demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. 

The political tension follows Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar de-notifying Jantar Mantar Road as an official protest site on Monday. The order designated Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground as the new venues for large gatherings. Earlier today, the CJP said said its leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were detained by police after they reached Jantar Mantar despite heavy barricading and a strong security presence.

Abhijeet Dipke said the CJP's legal team would approach the court over the detention of Ashutosh Ranka and Sourav Das after they unfurled the national flag at Jantar Mantar. He further said Jantar Mantar was the soul of protests and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of suppressing democratic dissent.
