CJP removes spokesperson Vijeta over insensitive remarks

The Cockroach Janta Party on Tuesday, July 21, removed Vijeta Dahiya as one of the three spokespersons of the movement over his “insensitive” and “unacceptable” conduct.

“We strongly condemn the deeply insensitive actions of our spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya, whose videos surfaced while peaceful protestors and our team were facing brutal police violence,” wrote CJP on X.

According to the



organisation, such conduct is “unacceptable, shows a complete lack of judgment, and is wholly inconsistent with the values and principles of our movement.”

Dahiya had faced intense backlash after claims surfaced about constant absence from the sit-ins at Jantar Mantar. Outrage grew after a video showing him eating a hamburger surfaced, with critics accusing the former spokesperson of lacking solidarity with those on a hunger strike.
