Dipke fears X handle may be taken down after post thanking Mamata is restricted

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday said he would not be surprised if his X handle was taken down before October 10 after his post thanking former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for backing the movement was restricted on the social media platform.

Dipke had posted on X, “Thank you @MamataOfficial ma’am for extending your support to the cockroach movement! All Indians need to come together to save democracy!”

TMC Rajya Sabha joint secretary Derek O’Brien shared the post, which was subsequently



restricted by X. The post was no longer accessible and the platform instead displayed the message, “Due to local regulations, this content is restricted on X.”

Reacting to the restriction, O’Brien said Banerjee had “come out strongly in support of Cockroach” and that Dipke had thanked her for the support.

O’Brien alleged that a ‘scared’ government was behind the restriction.

Dipke later shared O’Brien’s post and said, “Won’t be surprised if the govt takes down my handle before Oct 10.”
