CJP's Insta Briefly Down on Independence Day; Alleges "Muzzle Voice"
CJP's Instagram handle was briefly taken down on Independence Day, sparking outrage from the party. Founder Abhijeet Dipke condemned it as an attempt to silence their voice on youth issues.
The official Instagram account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) experienced a brief shutdown on Saturday morning, August 15, 2026, only to be restored later the same day. The outfit quickly alleged that the incident was a deliberate attempt to silence its voice, particularly poignant as it occurred on India's Independence Day.
CJP, which recently spearheaded significant student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, expressed strong condemnation regarding the temporary takedown. In a public statement, the party declared, "What a shame that those who oppose CJP chose India's Independence Day to try to muzzle our voice. We will not be intimidated by such cowardly acts!" Founder Abhijeet Dipke echoed this sentiment, calling the act "bloody cowards!" on social media.
This development unfolds amidst a flurry of CJP campaigns in recent weeks. The party has been vocal about the deteriorating condition of government and village schools, consistently protesting issues concerning students and the broader education sector. Their efforts have aimed to bring youth-related concerns to the forefront of the national agenda, especially leading up to Independence Day.
The CJP had specifically launched a campaign urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the nation's youth in his Independence Day message. Their focus was on critical issues such as unemployment, education quality, and other pressing concerns affecting young people across the country. Mr. Dipke has emerged as a prominent face for the outfit, organizing numerous protests and campaigns against alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and other student-centric matters.
