CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Attributes Business Losses to Government Shutdowns, Not Protests
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, defended peaceful protests in Delhi against claims that they harm businesses. He argued that economic losses occur when the government imposes citywide shutdowns, restricts movement, and suspends internet services, not due to protests themselves. This response followed traders' concerns over disruptions from a planned 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest amid ongoing demonstrations demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter-list irregularities. Authorities have implemented security measures and restrictions, with the Supreme Court urging protection of citizens' rights and normal services.
