New Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke addressed an urgent press conference in New Delhi, posing sharp questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government. He alleged that to crush democratic demonstrations demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the administration turned the entire capital city of Delhi into a police fortress and an India-Pakistan border-like situation.

Questions raised over labeling unfurling of Tricolour a violation of law:

Interacting with reporters, Abhijeet Dipke said that unfurling the country's national flag, the Tricolour, has also been declared a violation of the law. Posing a direct question, he asked who all of this was being done for. He asked whether all of this was being done merely to shield Gyanesh Kumar. Demanding answers from the central government, he asked what Gyanesh Kumar was offering Narendra Modi that makes the government appear so desperate and aggressive. He expressed outrage that peaceful waving of the Tricolour by citizens under their constitutional rights has now been turned into an offence in the eyes of the government.

Delhi turned into India-Pakistan border:

During the press conference, Dipke referred to the heavy security curbs imposed across the national capital, saying that the authorities completely halted normal life in Delhi. He stated that railway operations were disrupted, Delhi Metro stations were shut down, and the entire city of Delhi was sealed like an India-Pakistan international border. He said that paramilitary forces and police contingents from across the country were deployed in Delhi to suppress the voice of common citizens and youth.

Allegations of mistreatment of students, opposition leaders, and former chief ministers:

Expressing strong resentment over the actions of the Delhi Police and central agencies, the CJP founder said that activists from student organizations who arrived for peaceful demonstrations were forcibly dragged on the streets. He noted that not only students, but prominent opposition leaders and former chief ministers of various states were also brutally dragged along roads and taken into custody. Raising serious concerns, he asked why this entire coercive machinery was being mobilized for just one person, Gyanesh Kumar.

Is Gyanesh Kumar helping Modi win elections:

Directly targeting the relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chief Election Commissioner, Abhijeet Dipke questioned why Gyanesh Kumar has become so indispensable to Narendra Modi. He asked why people should not believe that Gyanesh Kumar is helping Narendra Modi win elections. Dipke added that if Gyanesh Kumar is not assisting him in winning elections, then why is Narendra Modi extending such massive state and administrative protection to him.

Political temperature rises over electoral reforms and protests:

The hard-hitting statements made by Abhijeet Dipke have sparked intense political debate across the country. Opposition parties have been consistently questioning the working style of the Election Commission, the verification of electoral rolls, and the neutrality of democratic institutions. Dipke maintained that the voice of the public cannot be suppressed using police force and arbitrary curbs, adding that this struggle to protect democracy will intensify further.
