He also stated that the backup Instagram account of the CJP had been taken down by Meta.
The party, which came into existence a day after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s remarks on May 15, quickly went viral online, attracting support from politicians, activists, artists, and a large number of young and not-so-young social media users.
In a post on X on Friday, Dipke said that his Instagram account “has been hacked”. In another post, he wrote, “@Meta, I have lost access to my Instagram account. Trying to recover it but unable to”.
