Founder of India’s Gen-Z ‘Cockroach’ movement detained ahead of planned protest, party says

  • On Saturday, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal slammed the Centre's security clampdown in New Delhi, labeling the detention of Cockroach Janta Party leaders "worse than Emergency."
  • The demonstration at Jantar Mantar seeks the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged "vote theft," which Kejriwal claims Prime Minister Narendra Modi is suppressing democracy to protect.
  • Delhi Police detained CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka upon arrival, while authorities closed 57 metro stations and imposed prohibitory orders.
  • AAP MLA Gopal Rai criticized the measures, claiming police turned Kejriwal's residence into a "fortress," while the party condemned the "authoritarian detention" of its leadership.
  • Left parties joined the criticism, condemning "extraordinary restrictions" that harass common citizens and arguing these measures violate constitutional rights to protest.
