'Situation Mirrors Open Emergency': CJP Slams Delhi Security Clampdown and Activist Detentions
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) slammed the administration over heavy security and transit curbs in Delhi, calling it an 'open Emergency'. Activists Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Abhijeet Dipke condemned detentions and demanded CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court directed smooth metro operations.
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Sunday, October 11, mounted a scathing attack on the administration over extensive security restrictions and transport closures in the national capital, alleging that the prevailing situation resembles an "open Emergency". Addressing a joint press conference in New Delhi, CJP activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka accused authorities of causing severe public disruption in an attempt to suppress a "youth-led movement".
CJP Compares Security Deployment to 1975 Emergency
Hitting out at the heavy police presence, CJP activist Saurav Das drew parallels with the 1975 Emergency and stated that the city had been turned into a "cantonment". "The situation across the country right now mirrors an open Emergency. Such repressive conditions have not been witnessed since the dictatorial regime of 1975," Das said.

Modi, As PM, Is an Embarrassment to India, Says Abhijeet Dipke
Modi, as PM, is an embarrassment to India.
Never has this country seen a bigger coward and bully.
— Abhijeet Dipke (@abhijeet_dipke) October 11, 2026
CJP activists slammed the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ongoing detentions and security measures following their demonstrations targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral roll irregularities. In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke stated: "Modi, as PM, is an embarrassment to India. Never has this country seen a bigger coward and bully."
Gyanesh Kumar Is a Traitor
ज्ञानेश कुमार गद्दार है। इस्तीफ़ा तो उसे देना होगा।
ऐसे गद्दारों को हटवाने के लिए जीवनभर जेल रहना भी मंज़ूर है।
— Ashutosh Ranka (@AshutoshRanka) October 11, 2026
Expressing firm resolve despite law enforcement action, Ashutosh Ranka posted on X: "Gyanesh Kumar is a traitor. He will have to resign. I am even willing to spend my entire life in jail to get such traitors removed."
Heavy Security Deployment Across National Capital
The political rhetoric follows several days of heightened security measures across Delhi. In anticipation of demonstrations, the Ministry of Home Affairs reinforced local law enforcement with additional companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), deploying an estimated 23,000 to 35,000 security personnel across key transit points, border zones, and prominent venues including Jantar Mantar. The restrictions included multi-layer barricading, vehicle inspections at border entries, regulation of metro station gates, and train adjustments, causing noticeable disruption to daily commuters and local business activities in central Delhi.

Police and Judicial Mandate
While opposition activists condemn the clampdown as an infringement on constitutional assembly, police authorities maintain that the security deployment is necessary to maintain public order and prevent unpermitted gatherings near high-security zones. Meanwhile, judicial intervention by the Supreme Court directed authorities to ensure there is no complete prohibition of movement on public transit systems, instructing that metro and rail services operate in a regulated manner to minimise public inconvenience. Law enforcement agencies continue to monitor the situation closely as legal proceedings and detentions remain ongoing.
