The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has raised serious allegations against the Delhi Police after claiming that some of its members were detained for waving the national flag, the Tiranga. According to a post shared by the party on social media platform X, several members have been held in custody for over 16 hours without release.
CJP Demands Immediate Release
The party’s post named members Ashutosh, Saurav, Ajinkya, and others who, CJP asserts, were unlawfully detained because they waved the Tiranga. The organization condemned the detention as illegal and questioned the strict measures taken against a symbolic act of patriotism.
“16 hrs and counting. For waving the National Flag? Why does the @DelhiPolice hate the Tiranga so much? Release Ashutosh, Saurav, Ajinkya and all the other CJP Members from this illegal kidnapping immediately!” the party tweeted, emphasizing their demand for the immediate release of their members.
Questions Raised About Police Action
CJP challenged the rationale behind Delhi Police‘s strong stance on the flag-waving incident, asserting that expressing patriotism by displaying the national flag is not a crime under democratic rights. The post questioned the police’s apparent hostility towards the flag and criticized the action as an infringement on democratic freedoms.
So far, there has been no official statement from Delhi Police addressing these allegations. The lack of confirmation from the authorities leaves the claims unverified, with no clarity on the circumstances that led to the detentions.
The incident has drawn attention to the sensitive handling of national symbols and free expression in the capital. The organization’s call for transparency and urgent release highlights tensions between political activism and law enforcement reactions.
The CJP’s accusations underscore growing concerns over civil liberties and rights to peaceful demonstration. This case may spur discussions on how law enforcement agencies approach patriotic protests and public displays of national pride.
This situation remains fluid as both the public and media await further information from official sources. The resolution of the matter will likely have implications for future rights-based demonstrations in the city.
