The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has extended its support to a student-led protest at Dharna Chowk in Hyderabad on Thursday, September 3, with the protesting polytechnic students from Telangana demanding the immediate withdrawal of Government Order (GO) 97.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke joined the protest through a video conference and assured the students of the party’s support. He said he would travel to Telangana and join the protesters in person if the government failed to address their grievances or if the protests continued.
“We are closely monitoring the situation and will strongly oppose any unlawful cases filed against students for exercising their democratic right to protest,” Mr. Dipke said. He also interacted with students who were reportedly injured during the protest and condemned the alleged police lathi-charge.
