CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka detained after a protest at Jantar Mantar following the reported change in its protest-site status.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Tuesday, a day after the Centre reportedly removed the site from the list of designated protest venues. CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, along with party volunteers, allegedly climbed an iron gate and a police barricade to enter the area and raise slogans. Delhi Police later detained the protesters, according to a social media post by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke.

The incident has brought the Jantar Mantar protest back into focus amid continuing political demonstrations in the national capital over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) controversy and demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

CJP Volunteers Enter Jantar Mantar Despite Restrictions

According to a video shared by Abhijeet Dipke, several CJP volunteers arrived at Jantar Mantar early Tuesday morning. The footage showed party leaders and supporters climbing over an iron gate while carrying flags before entering the area.

The protesters raised slogans, including “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Inquilab Zindabad,” as police personnel attempted to stop them. A brief confrontation reportedly took place before officers detained the group and took them away.

The Jantar Mantar protest followed the reported decision to discontinue the venue’s designated status for demonstrations. The incident has raised questions about where political groups and citizens can hold protests in Delhi under the revised arrangements.

Abhijeet Dipke Reacts to the Centre’s Decision

Responding to the development, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke challenged the decision to remove Jantar Mantar from the list of designated protest sites. In a social media post, he wrote, “You cannot denotify the resistance.”

Dipke also argued that changing the status of one location would not stop demonstrations. He claimed that new protest sites would emerge across the country and criticised the Centre’s decision.

According to Dipke, the removal of Jantar Mantar’s designated status would not end public demonstrations. His comments reflected the party’s opposition to the reported change in protest-site arrangements.

Three Alternative Protest Venues Identified in Delhi

Following the reported decision concerning Jantar Mantar, three alternative locations were identified as designated venues for protests and sit-ins in the national capital. The locations are:

Ramlila Ground

Burari Ground

CBD Ground in East Delhi

The venues were reportedly finalised following recommendations from a committee under the Union Home Ministry. These locations are intended to provide designated spaces for demonstrations and public gatherings in Delhi.

The change means Jantar Mantar, which had long served as a recognised protest venue in central Delhi, will no longer be used for demonstrations under the reported arrangement.

Protests Linked to the SIR Controversy

The latest Jantar Mantar protest comes amid demonstrations by opposition groups and CJP over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The protests have also involved demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Delhi Police had strengthened security around Jantar Mantar from October 10 and reportedly prevented protesters from entering the area. CJP had earlier announced a protest at the venue for that date.

According to the supplied report, CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were detained after arriving in Delhi on October 10. The report also stated that thousands of protesters were detained over Saturday and Sunday as demonstrations and police action took place across parts of the capital.

What Happens Next?

The detention of CJP volunteers after Tuesday’s demonstration has renewed attention on the restrictions governing protests in central Delhi. With Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground identified as alternative venues, demonstrators may need to use the designated locations under the revised arrangements.

The Jantar Mantar protest highlights the ongoing dispute between CJP and the authorities over access to the site. While Abhijeet Dipke has said that demonstrations will continue at other locations, the implementation of the revised arrangements and the response of protest groups remain key developments to watch.
