‘Cockroach Janta Party’ lists dos and don’ts for Delhi protest led by founder Dipke

The group asked its supporters to assemble at the Parliament Street Police Station at 9:00 AM from where permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will be sought.

These included carrying the tricolour and a book, recording the proceedings of the protest, reporting miscreants to the police, and others, such as applying sunscreen, bringing a cap and remaining hydrated.

It also asked supporters to come with their families and not alone, offering flowers to police personnel, not engaging with “trolls or provocateurs”, and not showing up on an empty stomach.

“Tomorrow, we will reset the education system of this country… make sure that our voices can’t be ignored anymore… we reclaim this democracy and this beautiful nation of ours,” Ranka said.

Das reiterated that Dipke would arrive at the airport at 8 AM. From there, he and others joining the group will proceed to the Parliament Street police station to formally seek permission for the protest. “We appeal to you all to please keep this peaceful… please do not gather at the airport; a lot of you wanted to gather at the airport, but we have been advised… please meet us directly at the Parliament Street police station,” Das added.

Ranka also issued “a last appeal” to Prime Minister Modi to sack Education Minister Pradhan.

Addressing its maiden press conference at the Constitution Club, a stone’s throw from Parliament on Wednesday, Das said protesters “of all political shades” were welcome to join their protest on Saturday.

Led by Dipke, who was formerly associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for a short while before going to the US to pursue a public relations course, has proposed a sit-in protest to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan this Saturday.
