'Lehra do Tiranga': CJP announces fresh protest in Delhi's Connaught Place on October 16

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday called for a Tiranga march at Central Park in Delhi's business hub on October 16, urging "patriots" to gather with the national flag, alleging that CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been "jailed only for unfurling the tricolour".

The call comes on a day when Das and Ranka were sent to five-day judicial custody and lodged in Tihar Jail for allegedly violating their peace bonds and trespassing into Jantar Mantar, which has been denotified as a protest area.

Dipke said they would show that waving the Tricolour is not a crime and urged those unable to travel to Delhi to organise



Tiranga marches in their respective cities. He also expressed apprehension that he could be jailed as well.

"As you know, Saurav and Ashu have been jailed only for unfurling the tricolour. I urge all patriots who love the tricolour to come to Central Park, Connaught Place at 5 pm on October 16 with the national flag. We will show that waving a tiranga is not a crime," Dipke said.

"Those who cannot come to Delhi, take out tiranga marches in your cities in the evening, and show that the tricolour is our pride," he said.

"I also may be jailed after this, but I am not worried. Tricolour is my pride, and I will raise it," the CJP founder added.
