CJP Protest: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is still facing a massive backlash after a video of its leaders’ dance and celebration over Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation went viral on the internet. Several netizens have raised their voice about the ‘insensitivity’ of the party video right after the protest ended. Meanwhile, social activist Sonam Wangchuk, who made headlines by joining the protest and sitting on an indefinite hunger strike at the CJP stage, has also reacted to the controversy over the viral video.
‘Victory must be accompanied by humility,’ and supporters should celebrate it ‘with dignity, restraint and responsibility’, Wangchuk said.
‘Victory must be accompanied by humility,’ Wangchuk said and supporters should celebrate it ‘with dignity, restraint and responsibility’.
Wangchuk said maintaining respect and humility is crucial after achieving victory. The activist’s statement came amid an ongoing debate on social media platforms over a video of CJP’s members celebrating Pradhan’s resignation hours after ending the protest.
CJP supporters also criticised the celebration. Commentator and YouTuber Meghnad slammed CJP leaders for partying while several protesters left ‘homeless and starving’ after the protest.
Meghnad shared a post on Instagram and said that he and other protesters arranged travel and food for several protesters who were sitting at Jantar Mantar for over a month with CJP leaders.
“I’m seeing this at 4 am in the morning. Me and a few others have spent the last two days sending abandoned and starving CJP volunteers and protesters home with our own money. I wasn’t going to say anything, but I saw this video, and I’m pissed off…,” Meghnad wrote.
“While you are partying, 70+ protesters and students were left starving in Delhi because YOU decided not to care. Congratulations CJP, you have become just another political party after all,” he added.
After facing a massive backlash on the party video, the CJP defended it, saying clip reflected the spirit of the younger generation.
“We can sit on the road for as long as it takes. We can protest while dancing. We can organise while sipping cold coffee,” CJP spokesperson Saurav Das wrote on X.
“That’s just how this generation is. Confident, creative, resilient, and IMPOSSIBLE to stereotype.”
Later, he told media that the celebration was a meet with the volunteers whom the core leaders of the CJP wanted to honour.
“Unfortunately, the visuals of us dancing came out. But what preceded that was a heart-to-heart interaction with each one of those volunteers. We were sitting on the floor and speaking to them individually, and it was very necessary to do so,” he added.
