The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which is set to hold its first protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on June 6, has issued a list of do's and don'ts for participants. The guidelines include carrying the Tiranga, applying sunscreen, staying hydrated, and recording the protest on social media.
Amid growing attention around the self-styled movement, young protesters in Thane recently staged a flash mob inspired by the CJP. The group is now preparing for what it describes as a major demonstration in the national capital and has asked supporters to gather at Parliament Street Police Station near Jantar Mantar at 9 am on June 6.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said he is "on his way to India."
Dipke had earlier urged supporters on X to gather at Delhi airport. However, in a subsequent post, he asked people not to head to the airport, saying it could create inconvenience and disrupt public movement.
In a post on X, the party shared detailed instructions for protesters.
"6 June, 9 am — Milte hain kal fellow cockroaches. Dharmendra Pradhan ka isteefa le kar rahenge! Time to turn this tiny joke into a revolution. Get ready to swarm the streets of Delhi with peaceful and loving dissent," the post said.
It added: "But remember what to do and what NOT to do. All eyes are on us."
The CJP asked participants to assemble at 9 am at Parliament Street Police Station before proceeding to Jantar Mantar. Organisers have urged attendees to carry the national flag and a book, stating that the objective of the demonstration is to reform the Indian education system.
The protest guidelines encourage participants to record the event and livestream it on social media platforms. Attendees have also been advised to report any miscreants to the police rather than engaging with them directly.
The organisers have stressed that the protest should remain peaceful, democratic and disciplined. Participants have been asked to stay hydrated, wear caps, apply sunscreen and cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
The poster also advises protesters to attend in groups or with family members, avoid confrontations with trolls or provocateurs, and offer flowers to police personnel as a gesture of appreciation.
Among the key demands highlighted in the poster is a call for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
