CJP's Fresh Protest Call
The CJP is set to hold another march to Jantar Mantar today, following a major confrontation between protesters and Delhi Police on Saturday. The march comes as the group continues to press for its three demands, including the resignation and arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The appeal was made by CJP's national organisation in-charge, Ajikya Shinde, who the pressure group entrusted to lead the protest at Jantar Mantar.
"But we're not backing down! We will march to Jantar Mantar again tomorrow and stay there until all our demands are met," the CJP's post on X read. On Saturday, thousands of protesters on their way to Jantar Mantar were detained by the Delhi Police. Dipke, along with CJP leaders Das and Ranka, was detained by Delhi Police inside an aircraft at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on Saturday. The three had arrived from Mumbai to participate in the planned protest at Jantar Mantar.
