Satirical Makhi Janta Party Forms After CJI's 'Hammer to Kill a Fly' Remark
The Makhi Janta Party (MJP), a satirical online group, has emerged following Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's 'hammer to kill a fly' remark during a Supreme Court hearing on October 9. The MJP, founded by a student named Aaryan, has quickly gained over 40 lakh views and 330,000 Instagram followers in 72 hours. Drawing parallels with the earlier Cockroach Janta Party, the MJP seeks coordination with the CJP and expresses solidarity with protestors opposing certain government actions in Delhi.
