Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Tuesday announced that the outfit would not organise any protests until Diwali, urging supporters to take a break from demonstrations and spend time with their families during the festive season. In a video message, Dipke, who refers to CJP supporters as “cockroaches”, said the events of the past few days had left their families worried and that it was important for them to be with their loved ones.
“Right now, I just want you all—all my cockroaches—to request that for a few days, you spend time with your families. Festivals are coming, and after what has happened in the past few days, your families must be very worried,” he said.
“Spend time with your families. Be there with your families, be there with your loved ones,” he added.
Dipke also said his parents and the families of fellow CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were concerned amid the ongoing developments.
