"Cockroach Head" was caught! ? Deepik, the leader of India’s Generation Z online movement, was detained by the police

Abhijeet Dipke, the founder and leader of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), an online political movement initiated by Generation Z in India, and two other senior officials were detained by police in the capital New Delhi on the 10th.

Dipke and others were detained ahead of a new wave of protests calling for the resignation of Election Commission Chairman Gyanesh Kumar in New Delhi. Deepak flew to New Delhi from the financial city of Mumbai, where similar protest rallies have been held. Police were waiting at the scene to ask him to cancel the protest that had been banned by the authorities.

TV footage showed Diepke telling the police on the plane, "I'm here to be arrested, arrest me..., I'm not afraid of you." One of the police officers assured Diepke that Diepke would not be arrested and that the police only needed his cooperation.

The Cockroach People's Party pointed out in a statement that top spokespersons for the movement's leadership, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were also taken away and detained by the police after the flight landed.

The "Cockroach People's Party" is not a real political party, but a political satirical online movement launched by young Indians. It was caused by the speech of Supreme Court President Surya Kant, who dismissed unemployed young people as "cockroaches" and "parasites", which went viral on the Internet and successfully angered Generation Z. Deepuke's sentence "What if all cockroaches come together?" was used to spoof Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The online movement "Cockroach People's Party", named after Modi's "Bharatiya Janata Party" (BJP), has millions of followers.

In July this year, the "Cockroach People's Party" took to the streets to protest against the leaked questions of the Indian Medical College Entrance Examination, which eventually forced the Indian Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign and step down. This was one of the most significant political setbacks for the Modi government in recent years.

After the scandal over cheating broke out at the Indian Election Commission, the "Cockroach People's Party" recently took the lead in taking to the streets to demand the chairman of the Election Commission, Kumar, to step down. Bangalore, the technology center of southern India, and the financial city of Mumbai had previously held similar protests, which were originally scheduled to move to the capital New Delhi on the 10th.

Dipke said in a video recorded before boarding the plane on the 10th that he did not know what would happen tomorrow, "But what I am sure of is that I will not be afraid and I will not back down. We must defend our democracy...Why is the Prime Minister so harmful to the young people and people of our country?"

The bearded Dipke, 31, comes from a Dalit family at the bottom of the Indian caste system. He has a master's degree in public relations from Boston University in the United States. He often wears T-shirts and jeans when appearing in public.
