"India swats cockroach movement over 'national security'
After the Cockroach Janta Party's X handle was blocked in India, reports say its Instagram handle is also in danger of suspension. Meanwhile, the Quad defense grouping is set to convene in India.
Responding to the meteoric rise of the parody Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) online, the national spokesperson of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said she hoped 'they don't just have angst to express, but something more serious.'
The CJP was born as satirical criticism of the Chief Justice of India (CJI), who likened some of India's youth to 'parasites' and 'cockroaches' while hearing a case in court.
BJP spokesperson Shazia Ilmi, speaking to DW, said, 'Those are his words and maybe it has offended a lot of people. One does understand the sentiment behind those who feel that they must express themselves.'
However, Ilmi pointed out that CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke had previously been a member of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) . It is one of India's major opposition parties, often critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dipke has denied any involvement with AAP at present. In a recent interview with an Indian media outlet, he said he was not trying to hide his past."
