'Millions Will Come to Delhi if Govt Doesn't Agree': CJP Ashutosh Ranka Spokesperson Issues Ultimatum

Following intense clashes between youth protesters and security personnel in the national capital, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka addressed the media, reiterating that the movement would continue until the central government meets their demands. Ranka emphasized that the group’s primary condition for ending the ongoing sit-in is an assurance from authorities that no FIRs or legal action will be taken against any student or demonstrator involved in the movement.

Describing the current agitation as the "biggest movement in India’s post-independence history," Ranka stated that the July 20 "Sansad Chalo" march to Parliament was merely a precursor. He warned that if the government fails to resolve the issue, millions more young people will march toward New Delhi in the coming days.

Rejecting claims that the group resorted to violence during the recent demonstration, Ranka maintained that the movement remains rooted in peaceful resistance inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar. He alleged that the chaos during the march was triggered solely by police deploying force against student demonstrators.

Addressing the core demands originally articulated by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, Ranka asserted that the leadership remains unperturbed by potential legal repressions, including detentions under strict laws such as the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) or the National Security Act (NSA). Furthermore, he extended an open invitation to members across the political spectrum, including those from the ruling party, to join the cause.

The CJP’s agitation initially emerged following public outrage over examination irregularities, including alleged paper leaks in competitive entrance tests. Over the past month, the movement has drawn thousands of young protesters, leading to heightened security measures, barricading, and clashes across central Delhi. High-level discussions between CJP representatives and Union Cabinet Ministers have so far failed to produce a resolution.
