Members and supporters of CJP also held protests in Bengaluru and Mumbai's Azad Maidan. A few hours earlier, Delhi Police placed Abhijeet Dipke under preventive detention, citing that permission had not been granted to the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest. According to sources, police has taken the CJP founder to a safe place in Delhi and is preparing to take legal action against him. Earlier in the day, Delhi Police reached Dipke's residence and served him a notice instructing him not to visit Central Park. AISA president Neha Bora, another leader who has been at the centre stage of protests, was also detained along with other AISA workers by Delhi Police near Mandi House. Now, even as police advised people to stay away from the protests, citizens still turned up, voicing their dissatisfaction against the Election Commission of India. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court of India refused an urgent hearing on a plea challenging the New Delhi Municipal Council's decision to shut Central Park where CJP called for protests. Observing that it was conscious of difficulties that such a closure could cause to small shopkeepers and their families, the court hinted that it could intervene if the restrictions result in business losses. Meanwhile, various trade and business organisations wrote to PM Modi over their losses due to the recent protests and also demanded his intervention in the matter to protect their interests. The spate of protests raises some key questions. Will the central government initiate a dialogue with the opposition and CJP, which is unrelenting on its demand for the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation? Will there be a conscious effort to address concerns over the deletion of eligible voters' names? With both sides at loggerheads, an early end to the impasse seems quite unlikely.

Veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah were seen participating in the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) Jail Bharo protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park on Friday. Both were welcomed on stage by CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke.&nbsp;Azmi addressed the gathering and spoke about the right to vote and backed the organisation's demand for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.&nbsp;The actor, who had earlier taken part in a students' protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, told the crowd that people should protest through democratic means if their names are removed from electoral rolls. The Mumbai gathering also saw several names from the film and music industry, including Vishal Dadlani, Vishal Bhardwaj and Rekha Bhardwaj.<h2>‘Voting is our right’</h2>&nbsp;Azmi spoke to the reporters before heading to the stage and said, “Voting is our right. If anyone tries to take away our right to vote, we will do what is necessary through democratic means.” She later addressed those gathered at Shivaji Park in Mumbai and said, “A very, very warm greeting to all of you. Since I am from Mumbai, seeing all of you present here in such large numbers brings me immense happiness.” “Our vote is our right, it is our voice, we have been hearing this since childhood. But when our right is snatched away from us, when our names are removed from the electoral rolls, what will we do? We will protest. This is our right. Today, look around and see how far your eyes can reach, this is the victory of democracy. Because we have recognised our own strength, and we have realised that we do not have to tolerate anything wrong, because this is our country, our Constitution has given us this right. So, many congratulations to all of you,” she added.&nbsp;

<h2>What is CJP protesting about?</h2>Outlining the CJP’s demands, founder Abhijeet Dipke addressed the crowd and sharply criticised the central government, emphasising that the group was forced to organise another demonstration just two months after their agitation at Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak issue. Challenging Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to send the protesters to jail, the agitation comes in the wake of media reports alleging objections raised by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi over decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to reports, objections were logged at least 14 times over a 10-month span, with certain orders allegedly issued without their prior knowledge. The Election Commission later clarified that all decisions, including those pertaining to the SIR, were made unanimously by the three-member panel. Meanwhile, police officials stated they were actively monitoring the situation to maintain law and order and keep local traffic flowing smoothly.

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday (Sep 3) challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he will show his degree from Boston University if he reveals he did the same. This comes amid controversy surrounding the qualifications of Dipke, who is facing allegations of faking his education in the US.In a post on X, Dipke wrote that people had grown impatient waiting to see his own degree, adding, “Makes me wonder how they’ve managed for 12 years without seeing the Prime Minister’s.” He followed with a direct challenge: “let’s both show our degrees and put an end to this.”This comes after Dipke circulated a video compilation, reportedly from an account called “BUComGrad,” showing what appeared to be an afterparty where he is seen seated at a table talking with others.<h2>Podcaster sparks fresh controversy</h2>The renewed scrutiny traces back to a podcast hosted by Prakhar Gupta featuring activist Sonam Wangchuk, in which Gupta relayed a friend’s claims about investigating Dipke’s Boston University record. According to Gupta, the friend “has gone down the rabbit hole of checking Abhijeet’s educational credentials and found that there is no record of him graduating from Boston University.”Dipke also questioned a Delhi High Court decision not to disclose Modi’s degree, writing that “anyone who doesn’t show their degree is apparently a fraud and a liar,” according to his post.<h2>Older allegations resurface</h2>Earlier, RTI activist Amit Tiwari had questioned how Dipke’s family funded his US education given his father’s government salary. Dipke has addressed this before, telling journalist Barkha Dutt that his studies were “funded by a scholarship provided by Boston University,” alongside an education loan, and produced a scholarship letter as evidence.CJP spokesperson Vaishnavi Gaur dismissed the renewed RTI scrutiny as selective, contrasting it with calls for transparency around the PM CARES Fund.“Those who file RTIs into a private individual’s education expenses should also take a look at the PM CARES Fund too. Modi ji will forgive you too—don’t worry,” she wrote on X.
