The Bengaluru Police have issued a warning against a planned human chain by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) near Town Hall on May 24, stating that no permission has been granted for the gathering. The police emphasized that protests are restricted to Freedom Park, as per a Karnataka High Court ruling from August 1, 2022. Violating this order could lead to legal action against participants. The CJP, which has garnered over 201,000 followers on X, started as a satirical online project and has evolved into a platform addressing youth issues, including unemployment and education. The party gained traction following a controversy involving Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who made remarks about parasites that were misinterpreted. The CJP's content often features sharp political satire and has attracted attention from public figures and activists, reflecting a growing trend of digital dissent. Their website describes the party as a “political party for the people the system forgot to count,” with a focus on grassroots demands and a humorous approach to serious issues.
