CJP Tiranga march LIVE | Delhi Police allows flag-waving by select group, urges public to stay away
The Delhi High Court has allowed the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to proceed with its 'Tiranga' march in Connaught Place, despite a vendor's plea to restrain it. Authorities are implementing crowd control measures, including closing Central Park and advising traffic diversions, while urging the public to avoid the area.
Why it matters
This event highlights the ongoing tension between the right to protest and public order concerns, impacting local businesses, traffic, and public access to spaces in a major Indian city, and setting a precedent for future demonstrations.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday (October 15, 2026) refused to restrain the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and its founder Abhijeet Dipke from holding a protest at Connaught Place’s Central Park on October 16, even as it took on record the police’s assurance that all possible steps would be taken to regulate and control protesters.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Sanjay Sharma heard a plea by a Connaught Place vendor seeking directions to the police to regulate the protest.
