# CJP’s Dipke calls off protests till Diwali, urges family time 2026-10-22T15:32:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced that the party will not hold any protests until Diwali. In a video message on Tuesday, 20 October, he urged supporters, whom the party calls ‘cockroaches’, to take a break and spend time with their families during the festive season. Dipke also asked them to remember jailed leaders Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who he said cannot be with their own families. Das and Ranka have been in judicial custody since 13 October after trying to hoist the national flag at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, a ‘de-notified’ protest site. On Monday, 19 October, a Delhi magistrate extended their custody by two days, stating the CJP leaders had shown no respect for the law. Dipke praised the two as the movement's real leaders, saying he merely followed their orders, and rejected comparisons between CJP's protests and violent unrest in France, Nepal and Bangladesh. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both tv9hindi.com and aajtak.in carry the same core facts, the protest pause till Diwali, the video message and the judicial custody extension, with near-identical framing, likely drawing from the same pool of details.
