The Cockroach Janta party is a bit like a temperature check that has quantified public anger against Modi government.
It was traditionally the job of the media to echo public sentiment. But they're now in the business of criminalising dissent.
At a time political opposition has been systematically weakened, media is bought and institutions are compromised, it is quite creditable to mount a protest in any form.
The CJP has rallied around an extremely important issue of educational corruption, which concerns a range of young people in India.
Many common people that I've spoken to are kinda surprised with the response to CJP but it has also emboldened them to express dissent.
And that counts for something.
CJI Surya Kant Faces Protests & Humiliating at London Event Amid Questions on Democracy, Judicial Accountability, Freedom of Expression and Dissent
London, June 5: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant faced protests and sharp questioning during an interaction at Birkbeck, University of London, as students raised concerns about the state of democracy, freedom of expression, and judicial accountability in India.
According to videos circulating online, students challenged the Chief Justice on issues relating to dissent, civil liberties, and the functioning of democratic institutions. Some attendees also questioned him about his recent “cockroach” remarks, which had sparked public discussion.
The situation escalated when a section of the audience stood up, pointed toward the Chief Justice, and raised slogans in protest, briefly disrupting the event before organisers intervened to restore order.
The incident has since ignited intense debate with supporters viewing the protest as a legitimate expression of democratic dissent.
PM Modi and today India’s CJI both Premier Heads in their own respective Constitutional Offices have faced serious backlash and criticism on foreign platforms about India’s failing Democratic Parameters.

Following his shameless comparison of Indian youth to cockroaches and parasites, CJI Surya Kant got schooled in London yesterday during his lecture on AI and Law at Birkbeck, University of London.
A British national shouted directly at the stage where Surya Kant was standing, demanding, "You call the youth of India cockroaches and parasites! Give us some respect, please!"
There is intense anger over Surya Kant's courtroom vocabulary across the globe.
This is iconic 👏
Shekhar Suman just narrated the story of a Cruel King.
He didn’t name anyone but this fits perfectly on a man we all know.
Must- Must Watch.
In Taiwan they are announcing banning Indians as one of their promises when it comes to power.
I'm telling you Modi will bring the foreign policy at zero.
There is very good chance Rajesh exports is front for money laundering by big fish politicians and babus. Otherwise faking $158B worth of revenue/invoice doesn’t make sense.
That’s why the owners would go Scot free. At worst they would make someone take the fall and close it.
The scams by Ramalinga Raju (Satyam), Vijay Mallya (Kingfisher) and even Subrata Roy (Sahara) look kindergarten stuff now when compared to what Rajesh Mehta has pulled off alone.
Without involvement of SEBI, Rajesh Exports could not have pulled such a big scam of 15 Billion Dollars.
Madhabi Buch involvement should be investigated. Her tenure was too shady and also she refused to appear before the Parliamentary committee. Such audacity can come only with the support of PMO!
Fire is in the 12th floor. Fire brigade pumps are reaching till the 5th-6th floor.
Moral of the story:
Never buy a house in a high-rise in India. Even if you have to, never buy anything beyond the 5th floor.
LIC comes under the administrative control of the Ministry of Finance.
Its investment in Rajesh Exports is a clear case of fraud.
Thus, not only Dharmendra Pradhan, but N. Sitharaman should also be sacked immediately, and both put under investigation.
What exactly happened at Rajesh Exports (REL)? They have faked business worth 4% of India's GDP.
SEBI has banned the Chairman of Rajesh Exports, Rajesh Mehta. The company is a gold refiner that owns the Shubh Jewellers chain. At its peak in Feb 2023, REL was traded at ₹1,028. Today it is trading at ₹108. SEBI in its 109-page report said that the company was faking 99.8% of its business. Here is how the trick worked.
Investors look at how much revenue a company makes. Higher revenue usually means higher stock price. The real business at REL was small. So, Rajesh Mehta created revenue out of thin air.
1. From FY22 to FY24, Rajesh Exports wrote in its books that it sold goods worth ₹11,487 crore to a company called Affluence Shares and Stocks. And that it bought back goods worth ₹11,488 crore from the same Affluence. Look at the numbers. They are almost identical.
2. SEBI got suspicious. They checked GSTR-2A and bank statements, but no records were found of any Affluence purchase. SEBI then asked Affluence directly. Affluence said that Rajesh Exports has never been their client.
3. So what was actually happening? Rajesh Mehta was personally trading gold derivatives through Affluence (a SEBI-registered broker) in his own name. He took ₹7.45 crore from REL's bank account, gambled it in the market and lost ₹3.5 crore. To cover this up, REL masked it as ₹11,487 crore of fake sales + financial engineering.
This is nothing. REL had shown ₹1,035 crore on the balance sheet as Investment in Gold Mines in Africa. When SEBI asked for proof, the company could not produce a single document.
When SEBI added everything up, ₹15,15,385 crore of business was made up across five years. That is 4% of India's GDP.
If investigated well, SEBI will find 100 such Rajesh Exports and Gensol in the stock market.

अगर ये तस्वीर फ़ेक नहीं है तो बहुत सारे रहस्यों से परदा उठाती है। इसमें 15 लाख करोड़ का घोटाला करने वाला राजेश मेहता है और साथ में खड़े दाढ़ी वाले सज्जन को तो आप पहचाने ही होंगे।
LIC's total investments are ~₹57 lakh crore. Most of its money is invested in safe govt securities. Only 28-30% is in 340-350 stocks.
Now, even if it loses ₹3,000 crore by betting on a dud company that will be just 0.05% of its total portfolio.
It will not make any difference to LIC's ability to meet its insurance claims.
But a ₹3,000 crore investment could change the fortunes of a midcap company.
That is precisely why LIC's investment decisions deserve public scrutiny – not because its missteps could raise short-term fears of default, but because the massive corpus of public money it holds can be used to enrich private entities.
Rajesh Exports isn't delusion, nobody believed these numbers were real.
It's not even fraud as fraud requires concealment.
This is collective perversion: an entire ecosystem, companies, auditors, lenders, regulators, policymakers, participating in a fiction because the fiction served interests.
Export numbers, Currency, Stock market, Banking, GDP all benefitted.
