The X handle of the 'Cockroach Janta Party', a viral satirical collective, was blocked in India on Thursday following a directive from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). This action came after the Intelligence Bureau (IB) flagged the account for allegedly inflammatory content that posed a threat to national security. The order was issued under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, which allows the government to restrict online content deemed harmful to sovereignty and public order. The account's blockage was confirmed by users who received a message stating it had been withheld in response to a legal demand. Founded by Abhijeet Dipke, a student at Boston University, the Cockroach Janta Party emerged as a voice for unemployed youth, quickly gaining traction with over 100,000 members in just days. The collective's rise was fueled by memes and political commentary, particularly in response to remarks made by Chief Justice Surya Kant, who had referred to certain youth as 'parasites' attacking the system. Despite the setback, Dipke announced a new handle, encouraging followers to join him on the platform.
