Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke criticised Delhi Police for removing Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site. Reacting to the decision on Monday, he said, “Ab poora desh Jantar Mantar banega!” He also claimed the site had been turned into a “war zone”. Delhi Police has named three alternative venues for protests: Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in Shahdara. The decision follows months of youth-led demonstrations organised by the CJP. Recent protests have focused on alleged examination irregularities and claims of voter roll manipulation linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
