Cockroach Janta Party's Instagram Account Briefly Withheld and Restored Amid Protests
The Instagram account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was briefly withheld in India following a legal request, displaying a notice that access was restricted locally to comply with government or legal demands. Party founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed the Narendra Modi-led government was responsible for the temporary block, which was restored within minutes. The incident occurred amid ongoing CJP-led protests at Jantar Mantar demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over a NEET exam paper leak, with allegations of police using excessive force against demonstrators.
