Founder of the online movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Abhijit Debaki, on Monday released a step-by-step plan for peaceful protest amid ongoing CBSE and NEET classes, as he announced that he would be returning from the US where he is studying.
Deepak said in a statement that he will return to India on June 6 and will hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The protest will mark the CJP founder’s first visit to India since the launch of the political satirical outfit.

“I have seen for many days that we are raising our voice on social media that due to paper leakage, NEET kids who committed suicide and the hard work of thousands of students being wasted, for this reason, Dharmendra Pradhan should resign,” he said.
The “Cockroach” boss’s call: “Meet me at the airport.”
The CJP founder also released certain steps for the outfit’s followers as they plan the protest.
“I have decided to come to Delhi on June 6, Saturday morning. You will all meet me at the airport. We will all go to Parliament Street police station and seek permission to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar,” Debki said.
“It is time for all of us to come together, follow the path of the Constitution of India, and raise our voices peacefully to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us,” he added.
Debke also stated that his friends and family still fear the possibility of him being arrested for his actions.

“But I still hope that our country is democratic and we get permission to protest peacefully. I want to make it clear, I am a big fan of Gandhi, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh and Nehru, and I believe in the Constitution of India more than anything else, which gives us the right to raise our voice in a democracy,” the CJP founder said.
How long will we live in fear?
In his video appeal, Debke addressed the fear of imprisonment and stated that we, as Indians, cannot live in fear anymore.
“This country does not belong to any one party. This country belongs to all of us. It is a matter of our future,” he said.
Debaki added that it is our responsibility as Indians to raise our voice “in a peaceful and democratic manner.”
He added: “It is our turn to do something for our country. Because if we do nothing today, who will? How long will we wait for someone else to come and raise their voice and save us? So, all the pacifists and cockroaches who believe in the Constitution, let us all unite to save the future of millions of students.”
