‘Parties are being split using ED, CBI; no faith in judiciary’: CJP rules out launching political party | Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar News
NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) will hold a two-day strategy meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar from August 5 to decide the next phase of its youth movement, days after calling off its Jantar Mantar protest.The meeting will bring together founder Abhijeet Dipke, party spokespersons and organisational leaders to discuss the movement’s future. CJP said it had spent the past several days consulting stakeholders, including 50 core volunteers who were involved in the Jantar Mantar protest.Following the meeting, the organisation said it would launch a nationwide listening tour to engage with volunteers and gather the views of young people across the country.It said the outreach was aimed at understanding the aspirations of a generation that had become hopeful following the protest against former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, which the party said culminated in his resignation.“The defeat of this arrogant government at the hands of the youth shows that when young people come together, they can achieve anything,” chief spokesperson Saurav Das said.“Our team is working to put together the best possible path forward to channel the expectations of our youth into meaningful action,” he said.CJP said it would announce the schedule for the nationwide listening tour and other details about its next steps in the coming days.Meanwhile, Dipke reiterated that the organisation had no plans to transform itself into a political party.“We have no such intention. We are seeing how political parties are being split using the ED and CBI. Votes are being deleted in elections. At this point, when people have lost faith in politics, what will we do by forming a political party? The way people are losing faith in the judiciary, election system and even the media, this country needs a public movement,” Dipke told ANI.He also alleged that outsiders had infiltrated the student protest at Jantar Mantar, leading to violence during the July 20 March to Parliament.“I have been saying since the beginning of our movement that some people from outside will be sent to create disturbance during the protest, to defame the protest, and those belonging to CJP will be accused. These goons had pre-planning with Delhi Police. At the protest site where I was not being allowed to go without checking, there were 2100 criminals roaming freely. This is a big question on Delhi Police,” he said.“How can this (stone pelting at protest and police action on protestors) happen under Home Minister Amit Shah? Does his police get active only when they have to hit 12-year-old girls? But you could not stop the criminals. You (Delhi Police) have said that 2100 criminals were seen at the protest site. This is a clear failure of Amit Shah and the Police. In fact, it was not their failure, but it was a part of their planning,” he further added.
