India's MEA Clarifies No Information on Foreign Funding in CJP Protests
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has debunked viral social media claims falsely attributing statements to spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal about foreign funding of recent Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests in Delhi. The MEA clarified that Jaiswal stated he had no information on foreign funding allegations, rejecting posts claiming intelligence confirmed no such funding. The protests, which lasted over a month and included hunger strikes and a 'Chalo Sansad' march, ended after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned and the government assured protester demands.
