Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Saurav Das informed Delhi Police on Wednesday regarding the organisation’s proposed mass demonstration scheduled for October 10 at Jantar Mantar. Submitting a formal "intimation letter" at the Parliament Street Police Station, Das affirmed that citizens retain the constitutional right to assemble and protest peacefully. Security forces stepped up deployments and established strict barricading around the police station complex ahead of his arrival.
The CJP-led agitation aims to press for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the revocation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The submission follows high-voltage political demonstrations in the capital, during which Delhi Police detained over 260 Opposition figures—including top INDIA bloc leaders and student activists—for attempting to march to the Election Commission headquarters. Multiple student and youth organizations have pledged to join the October 10 gathering.
