Mumbai Police Denies Shivaji Park Protest Permission to Cockroach Janata Party
The Mumbai Police denied permission to the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) for a protest at Shivaji Park on October 2, citing a 2013 Bombay High Court judgment and a 2016 Maharashtra government order restricting gatherings there. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke criticized the decision, questioning why similar permissions were granted to political rallies earlier, including one by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The party threatened a Jail Bharo Andolan if denied the right to protest and has sought alternative venues while emphasizing peaceful demonstration and constitutional compliance.
