Sonam Wangchuk Supports CJP's October 2 Protest; Mumbai Police Denies Permission
Activist Sonam Wangchuk has expressed support for the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) planned October 2 protest demanding accountability from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar amid concerns over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. While backing the cause, Wangchuk indicated he may not attend physically, emphasizing the importance of electoral integrity and government promises, including Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police denied CJP permission to protest at Shivaji Park citing legal and logistical reasons, prompting CJP to threaten a Jail Bharo Andolan. The party is expanding its outreach, particularly in Keralam, amid ongoing political tensions.
