CJP Controversy: ISI connection of ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ founder Abhijeet Dipke? Police record of 2019 related to Kashmir issue goes viral

In the world of social media, ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP), which defeated the world’s largest political party like Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the race of followers within just four days, now seems to be stuck in the quagmire of a huge legal and security related controversy. The old police records of Abhijit Dipke, the 30-year-old founder of this sarcastic movement that has created a stir on the internet, and some very sensitive documents related to the Kashmir issue of 2019, have again gone viral on social media, which has created a sensation everywhere.

According to media reports and claims floating on the internet, Abhijit Dipke, living in Boston, has in the past been accused of very serious allegations of ‘working at the behest and funding of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI’ as well as fueling anti-India narrative. After these serious allegations have come to light, people are now raising big questions on the real motive behind this digital revolution and the movement created overnight.

What is ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ and how did this whole chaos start?

This entire controversy started when an alleged statement of the Chief Justice of the country (CJI) went viral on social media, in which he had allegedly compared the unemployed youth of the country to ‘cockroaches’. There was immense anger among the youth regarding this statement. Sensing this anger, political communication strategist Abhijit Dipke laid its foundation by creating a page named ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP) to taunt the government.

Within no time the entire internet got colored in this color and ‘Main Bhi Cockroach’ started trending rapidly on social media. People started making and sharing memes on the characters of famous writer Franz Kafka’s book ‘Metamorphosis’. The craze of this movement was such that within just 96 hours its Instagram page had more than 90 lakh followers, which is more than any established and big political party in the country. But this atmosphere of success and celebration suddenly faded when some people started investigating Deepke’s old history.

Article 370 and that old page of Pune Police investigation

Amidst the rocket-like popularity of Abhijit Dipke, very shocking government documents were made public with reference to some sources and media reports. These reports claim that on August 6, 2019, when the Government of India had decided to remove the historic Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, the Pune Police had conducted a highly confidential and thorough investigation regarding some social media posts made by Deepke.

During that time, local social workers and some political organizations of Pune had directly filed a written complaint of ‘sedition’ against Dipke. The complainants alleged that whatever Deepke was posting on the internet was hurting the sovereignty and integrity of India. Not only this, he was also accused of promoting the same agenda of Pakistan and its intelligence agency ISI within India on the Kashmir issue.

A war of words has broken out on social media, freedom of expression or a big conspiracy?

After this old case has been exposed again, a new ideological war has broken out in the internet world and political circles. On one hand, Deepke’s supporters clearly say that he is a professional journalist and PR expert. His past or present posts are just a sharp satire and political commentary, which should be seen under the right to freedom of expression in any vibrant democracy and it is completely wrong to link it with treason.

On the contrary, critics and security analysts of the country believe something else. He says that under the guise of ‘Cockroach Janata Party’, the dissatisfaction and anger of the youth of the country is being misused to create an atmosphere of instability within the country. Analysts suspect that this entire matter may be linked to old ‘foreign influence’ or external forces, which should be investigated closely.

Who is Abhijeet Dipke, what will happen next?

Abhijeet Dipke had completed his studies in Journalism from Pune, Maharashtra, after which he went to America for further education. He has recently completed his master’s degree in Public Relations from America’s famous Boston University. However, diplomatic and legal experts say that very serious and serious allegations like national security, treason or acting at the behest of foreign powers require strong court evidence and an impartial judicial investigation before reaching any final conclusion.

However, with the resurfacing of these old police records and serious allegations, a huge suspense and mystery has definitely deepened on this viral movement of ‘Cockroach Janata Party’. Now people are trying to understand whether this storm seen on social media was just a funny meme or whether some deep political diplomacy was working behind it.
