K Annamalai Critiques Delhi Police Actions, Supports CJP's Right to Protest
Former Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai has criticised the Delhi Police's handling of protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), defending the group's right to raise questions about electoral roll revisions despite disagreeing with some protest methods. He warned that arrests could strengthen CJP leaders politically and urged the government to address their concerns rather than suppress dissent. Annamalai also faced criticism from the BJP for his stance, which he rejects, accusing the Centre of manufacturing enemies to remain relevant.
