Detentions near Jantar Mantar spark 'cockroach Janta Party' jibes
Original: cockroach janta party
Police in Delhi detained several members of the Committee for Justice and Peace, including Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde, ahead of a planned October 10 protest near Jantar Mantar. An executive magistrate described the group as habitually calling protests in a denotified area, while spokesperson Abhijeet Dipke questioned the grounds for detention and rejected claims that hoisting the tricolour constitutes a violation. The mocking phrase 'cockroach Janta Party' has circulated online as commentary on the arrests.
Why now: The detention of activists ahead of a planned protest has drawn attention and mocking nicknames online.
