Abhijeet Deepke was released after detention, what did CJP tell?

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Deepke could not reach the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march called for on Friday evening. He was taken into preventive detention even before March.

On Saturday, he was brought to Mandir Marg police station and from there he was produced before the Special Executive Magistrate.

The same evening, Neha Bora, president of leftist student organization AISA, was also taken into custody but was released early Saturday.

Two other prominent faces of CJP, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, are already in judicial custody. He has been sent to judicial custody for five days in the case of entering Jantar Mantar without permission.

Despite prominent young faces of the movement coming under police action, hundreds of people gathered in and around Connaught Place on Friday. Many of these people had the tricolor in their hands. During this period many protesters were detained.

India Today quoted police sources as saying that around 150 people were detained during the protest.

Abhijit Deepke had called his movement against the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar as CJP 2.0, but three big youth leaders who were the faces of this movement are in jail, hence the question arises as to what will happen next to this movement.

Senior journalist Rashid Kidwai believes that the government should look at such movements very carefully. He says, "Whenever there is strong action against any political movement, it becomes more powerful."

"Cockroach Janata Party has emerged in a different way. It raised issues like paper leak and people from all sections of society, especially the youth, participated in its protests."

Rashid Kidwai says, "Since 2014, whatever political opposition came against the Modi government, the government tried to reduce its impact by linking it to Naxalites, foreign forces or anti-national activities. But from July till now, the government has not been able to fit this movement into any specific framework. For the first time, the government has failed to control this opposition."

Senior journalist Luv Kumar Mishra says, "When such protests happen or the government is so strict, it increases the difficulty for it. Now perhaps the government will not be able to suppress it easily. It may be a political issue, but it is a demonstration of students and youth."

CJP had called the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' program at 5 pm on Friday evening in the Central Park of Connaught Place. On Friday morning, a team of Delhi Police reached the house where Abhijeet Deepke was staying. The police gave him a notice asking him not to participate in the march.

Police allege that despite Jantar Mantar being removed from the list of designated protest sites and heavy barricading there, these people reached inside through a private complex.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh accused the opposition of using the youth to spread anarchy and attempt 'regime change' like in Bangladesh.

CJP says that it is following the path of peace and non-violence of Mahatma Gandhi.
