The Story in Brief
The official Instagram account of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was taken down on Independence Day morning but restored later, rediff.com reports. The student outfit alleged the takedown was an attempt to silence its voice on a key national day. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke condemned the act, calling the perpetrators 'bloody cowards'.
The incident comes as the CJP has been running campaigns on youth and education issues, including urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address youth concerns in his I-Day speech. The outfit recently led a students' protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.
The Indian Opinion
A party named after a cockroach getting its Instagram pulled on I-Day is the sort of petty drama that distracts from real issues. Both sides overreact: the CJP cries censorship for a likely automated takedown, and whoever flagged the account chose the most cliched date possible. The real test is whether the CJP's campaign gets any actual reply from the PM on youth unemployment in the coming weeks.
