The Story in Brief
The Cockroach Janta Party’s official Instagram account was briefly unavailable on the morning of 15 August, its founder Abhijeet Dipke said. The account was later restored, the outfit announced on X. Dipke called those responsible “bloody cowards” in a post, while the party alleged that opponents had tried to “muzzle” its voice on Independence Day.
The party shared screenshots showing the account as unavailable but gave no evidence identifying who caused the takedown or why it happened. ABP Live reported the account’s restoration after the brief outage. Instagram’s parent company had not been quoted in the report on the reason for the account’s removal.
The Indian Opinion
Calling the incident censorship before establishing whether Instagram removed the account, it was reported, or it suffered a technical fault is premature. The opposing lazy narrative, that a brief outage proves the party was targeted, is no stronger than dismissing the complaint outright. The useful test is simple: Instagram’s explanation, and whether the account’s status or content changed after restoration, should settle what happened.
