Assam Police Detain CJP Leader Ashutosh Ranka and Volunteers Before Guwahati Meet
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convener Ashutosh Ranka and several volunteers were detained by Assam Police ahead of a planned volunteer meet-up in Guwahati. The police reportedly barricaded access to the venue and intercepted attendees, leading to the event's disruption. CJP alleges state pressure caused venue withdrawal and criticizes Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for suppressing dissent and concerns over local issues like school conditions and land rights. Ranka also plans to meet families affected by electoral roll revisions and visit schools in Assam.
