CJP Leaders in Custody, Opposition Mobilises for Mega Protest, Metro and Rail Curbs in Delhi

India Today

Delhi Police continue to detain the leadership of the Cockroach Janta Party, with questions remaining over whether formal grounds of arrest will be presented. The leadership faced custody in the national capital while founder Abhijeet Deepke was offered the option of returning to Maharashtra following his grandmother's demise. Meanwhile, opposition parties are coordinating a major political mobilisation, requesting leaders from the opposition bloc, including Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, to remain in Delhi. The developments unfold amid administrative disruptions, including suspended internet services in the Lutyens zone, closed metro stations, and cancelled trains, as the opposition prepares to submit a memorandum to the Supreme Court following an earlier representation to the President.

00:00And let me go straight to Amit Bhardwaj, who is joining us live.

00:03Amit has been reporting from Ground Zero in Delhi through the day.

00:07Amit, give me an update on the CJP leadership.

00:10Are they still in the custody? What do we know about it?

00:18Well, details about CJP leadership is unclear.

00:22Abhijit Deepke's grandmother is no more.

00:24So, we were given an indication that he has been given an option of going back to Maharashtra.

00:30So, is that happening?

00:31We do not have certain factual updates on that particular aspect.

00:37But yes, Abhijit Deepke was given that option.

00:41We were given to understand.

00:42But from here on, Maria, it will be the litmus test for the Delhi police from tomorrow.

00:49Why I am saying that?

00:51Because the leadership of CJP is in Delhi police custody.

00:57If they continue to be in Delhi police custody, they will have to show arrest, the grounds of arrest.

01:02And then the protest becomes very organic from tomorrow.

01:05On Monday, the opposition parties are preparing for a mega mobilization.

01:10And that is why the India bloc leaders have been already asked to ensure their presence or rather requested to

01:16ensure their presence in the national capital.

01:18Mamata Banerjee, I am given to understand, has delayed her program to go back to West Bengal.

01:22She'll be here.

01:23Abhishek Banerjee is coming back.

01:25MA Baby has been requested to stay back in the national capital for Monday mega protest.

01:32So, a memorandum has to be submitted to the Supreme Court as well, like it had happened in the president's

01:38case.

01:39And the opposition parties had submitted the memorandum with the president as well yesterday.

01:45So, can you keep cancelling the trains?

01:48Can you keep the internet snapped in Lutian's zone?

01:51Can you keep the metro station shut down on Monday as well?

01:56If not, then it will be a big litmus test.

01:59Because on one side, the CJP is not going to stop their mobilization or possibly it will become organic.

02:05And on the other side, the political mobilization is also going to increase on Monday.

02:10All right, Amit.

02:11Appreciate your time.
