New Delhi: Leaders of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) are set to approach Delhi Police on Monday to seek permission for a fresh peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, giving authorities 24 hours to allot a date for the demonstration.

CJP leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ratna Singh are scheduled to visit Parliament Street Police Station to request permission for the protest. Ranka said the party would announce another protest call if the police failed to provide a date within the stipulated time.

In a post on X on Sunday, Ranka said CJP leaders would visit the police station at 10 AM to seek a date for the proposed demonstration at Jantar Mantar.

“At 10AM, me, @SauravDassss, @whattalawyer and other CJP leaders will go to Parliamentary Street Police Station to get a date for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar,” Ranka wrote.

He added that Delhi Police had 24 hours to allot a date, warning that the party would issue another protest call if the request was not addressed within that period.

The move comes amid continuing tensions over demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and allegations of electoral irregularities.

Abhijeet Dipke Says Activists Will Return to Streets

A day earlier, CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke reiterated that the movement would continue despite personal difficulties and political pressure.

In a post on X, Dipke said the activists had not given up their right to protest and would return to the streets.

“Haven’t signed any bond that says we won’t protest. We will hit the streets again,” he said.

Court Releases Three CJP Leaders from Preventive Custody

A Delhi Executive Magistrate court ordered the release of CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who had been taken into preventive custody by Delhi Police ahead of a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

According to their advocate, the three leaders were directed not to engage in any activity that could disturb peace and tranquillity for the next year as a condition of their release.

Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc is scheduled to lead a march towards the Supreme Court on Monday against alleged electoral irregularities, while demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The opposition alliance has also called on citizens across the country to join the agitation.
