# Cockroach Janta Party Instagram Account Restored After Two-Hour Block 2026-08-15T09:41:38+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Cockroach Janta Party’s Instagram account was inaccessible in India for about two hours on Saturday before being restored, Hindustan Times reported. The account remained accessible outside India, the report said. Instagram displayed a message citing a possible technical error. Meta did not respond to queries, and it was unclear whether the block resulted from community-guideline action or legal requirements. The party alleged that opponents had tried to silence it on Independence Day. Founder Abhijeet Dipke called those responsible “bloody cowards”. This was the second reported block in India after a brief outage on July 22. The party’s X account was also withheld in India from May 21 to July 7 under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Abhijeet Dipke, Cockroach Janta Party, Instagram, X Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cockroach-janta-party-instagram-account-restored-after-brief-takedown/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
