Cockroach Janta Party activist Abhijeet Dipke accused the central government of detaining protesters and opposition leaders to shield Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Thursday, Dipke stated that students and youth protesting for ten to fifteen days were dragged away by authorities alongside detained opposition leaders like Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, and Pinarayi Vijayan. Dipke claimed that railway services, Delhi Metro lines, and station access were shut down across the capital in unprecedented measures. All India Students' Association leader Neha Bora also spoke at the event, condemning the police harassment and detention of journalists covering the demonstrations. The CJP and supporting organisations have called for a national flag-waving protest at Central Park in Connaught Place on Saturday.
