Cockroach Janata Party X account withheld In India

The X account of Cockroach Janata Party, the satirical digital outfit that came up last week and took social media by storm, was withheld in India on Thursday. Soon after, came up another handle ? ?Cockroach is Back?.

?This was expected since there were attempts to hack the account yesterday. But this is a self-goal by the government,? founder Abhijeet Dipke told Media. 

?I have now started a new account named ?Cockroach Is Back? on X,? Dipke added. He said the team would pursue the matter



legally.

At 3.40 pm, a little over an hour after it started, the ?Cockroach Is Back? X handle had 16,800 followers.

Cockroach Janata Party, which according to Dipke had 201,000 followers on X, came following a controversy over Chief Justice of India Surya Kant using ?parasites? and ?cockroaches? while pulling up a lawyer for his plea seeking senior designation. 

The CJI later clarified that he was misquoted and his remarks were directed specifically at individuals entering the legal profession through ?fake and bogus degrees?.
