Cockroach Janta Party website blocked

The Cockroach Janta Party, a satirical political movement that began as an online joke, is facing a government crackdown according to its founder, Abhijeet Dipke.

The movement's website and several social media handles have reportedly been blocked after gaining a massive following among Indian youth frustrated with the current political climate.

Social activist Anna Hazare has called on the government to engage with the movement's supporters rather than suppress their voice.

The party, which parodies comments made by a supreme court judge, has evolved into a grassroots symbol of protest against economic issues like unemployment.
