<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">To all the beautiful young patriots in India:

This is not the time to be silent. @abhijeet_dipke and the @Cockroachisback are being funded by donors in the U.S. who are against Prime Minister @NarendraModi and your future under his leadership. Do not fear, my young patriots. Your Prime Minister, who has served India for 25 years, 12 years as Prime Minister, elected three consecutive terms, is not going to bow to disruptive forces from my country. 

And these select donors have a pattern globally - target conservative global leaders, find an U.S. educated person from the country, radicalize them, send them back to the country, and fund them to start chaos and destruction. None of them have been successful but have impacted the development and governance of the country. 

It is time for a new voice in #India, born, raised, educated on the soil of India, to RISE UP, organize, and peacefully protest the disruptive spirit of the Cockroach Party. There should always be a counter movement to uphold democracy and freedom. 

Rise up, young patriots! Rise up!&mdash; Mary Millben (@MaryMillben) <a href="https://x.com/MaryMillben/status/2110211574807879750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2026</a></blockquote>

&nbsp;<h2>Calls on young patriots to ‘rise up’&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Calling for a new voice in India, Millben said it was time for people “born, raised, educated on the soil of India, to RISE UP, organize, and peacefully protest the disruptive spirit of the Cockroach Party”.&nbsp;“There should always be a counter-movement to uphold democracy and freedom,” she added, ending her post with the appeal: “Rise up, young patriots! Rise up!”&nbsp;This is not the first time Millben has expressed support for the Modi government. Just a few days ago, she congratulated the prime minister on completing 25 years in public service, describing him as a “shining beacon of the Indian dream”. She also called for unity across communities to mark the milestone.&nbsp;<h2>Singer targeted Mamdani for opposing RRS event&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;In August, Millben criticised those opposing an upcoming Madison Square Garden event featuring Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat.&nbsp;Millben, known for her patriotic performances, came into the spotlight during India’s 75th Independence Day celebrations in 2022. A year later, she performed India’s national anthem during PM Modi’s visit to the US.&nbsp;In a post on X, she targeted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and alleged that opponents were against the event because they opposed Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).&nbsp;Last year, Millben described Modi as “a good friend” and praised his leadership in India and on the global stage. She also called her experiences with the prime minister “memorable and inspiring”.&nbsp;<h2>Dipke and CJP face scrutiny over their finances&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;CJP and Dipke have previously faced scrutiny and RTI enquiries over their finances. Surat-based RTI activist Amit Tiwari had raised questions about how Dipke funded his education at Boston University in the US.&nbsp;Dipke has denied the allegations, saying his studies were funded through a university scholarship and an education loan.&nbsp;The allegations come amid questions raised by BJP leaders over the funding of CJP and its founder, Abhijeet Dipke. BJP president Nitin Nabin accused opposition leaders and the CJP of attempting to destabilise India with foreign backing, while BJP MP Nishikant Dubey questioned the sources of funding behind Dipke.Dipke rejected allegations of foreign funding and challenged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to explain how foreign funding could enter the country under his watch.

American singer Mary Millben has alleged that Abhijeet Dipke and the Cockroach Janta Party were being funded by donors in the US who are against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She exhorted people born and educated on Indian soil to rise up and protest against the disruptive spirit of CJP.

American singer and political commentator Mary Millben, on Tuesday (March 31), sparked a controversy after she strongly criticised Pakistan’s potential role in mediating peace talks between the US and Iran amid the ongoing war. Her remarks came after a televised interview involving Bret Baier and Pakistan’s ambassador to the US, where the idea of Pakistan acting as a diplomatic intermediary was discussed.&nbsp;Calling the interview bizarre, Millben questioned the US over considering Pakistan as a host country for mediating the peace deal between Washington and Tehran. She further recalled Islamabad’s role in the 9/11 terror attack and termed Pakistan as the key problem in the world of terrorism.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/could-trump-s-attempt-to-seize-iran-s-kharg-island-risk-troops-lives-and-still-fail-to-end-the-war-1774944317534">Could Trump's attempt to seize Iran’s Kharg Island risk troops’ lives and still fail to end war?</a>

Taking to X, the American singer wrote, “Bizarre interview today between my friend Bret Baier and the Pakistani Ambassador to US.
