Union Minister Jitendra Singh has accused the satirical political group Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and its key enablers of channelling illegal funds from foreign non-profits and hostile external networks to fuel unrest in India.
“There is enough evidence to show that they are being funded by unauthorised sources, by anti-India NGOs, and anti-India organisations within and outside the country. The foreign-funded NGOs, deep state operatives and anti-India forces are manufacturing this narrative. “Over the last one month the CJP’s tactics were all about manufacturing rebellion. It was all about manufacturing anarchy in the country’s capital during the festive season. Obviously there were malafide motives. Comparing the CJP with the Congress party, the BJP spokesperson accused both outfits of targeting the judiciary around the same time. “Besides, whether it’s the CJP or the Congress party, they seem to be at war with the judiciary this time: the way Rahul Gandhi marched to the Supreme Court right in the middle of a court hearing. You don’t do that.
Within 72 hours, however, the two men along with CJP member Ajinkya Shinde allegedly breached their bond conditions on October 13 by crossing police barricades and scaling the locked gates of Jantar Mantar, which had already been denotified as a designated protest site, to raise slogans demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
Abhijeet Dipke has been receiving funds from US-based donors, Ashutosh Ranka, paid by Pakistani politicians,” Singh said. There was malafide intent in it,” Sinha said. You don’t have a mock impeachment just before a very important hearing is due,” Sinha told NDTV.
Dipke first made headlines after he set up the CJP website and its social media handles while still in the US in May, in a move the public relations graduate from Boston University called a work of satire. “If the BJP, including the home minister, is saying that Congress is being funded by foreign agencies and they’re not able to produce a shred of paper or a shred of evidence, this shows the competence level of Amit Shah, Jaishankar and R&AW. What is the IB doing? What is R&AW doing? On what basis are these comments being made? Backing Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s online poll challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a public debate, Kharge suggested that the chief of the BJP’s ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mohan Bhagwat, moderate a discussion on the funding of the Congress, the BJP and the RSS itself.
Dipke was associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from 2020 to 2023 and volunteered with the party’s social media team, according to reports.
Kharge told reporters.
