CJP alleges BJP pressure forced Delhi volunteers' meeting to park
A small political group in India called the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, wanted to hold a meeting with its volunteers in Delhi.
They needed an indoor hall, but many hall owners said no.
The party says the owners were scared because the BJP, a big political party, told them not to help.
One owner did agree to give them a hall, but the CJP says that person was threatened on Wednesday morning.
Instead of giving up, the group held its meeting in a nearby park.
The party's spokesperson, Ratna Singh, says some troublemakers came to the park and threatened them.
She also says the police watched but did nothing to help.
A leader named Dipke joked that people on Instagram were asking when the 'second season' of their protests at Jantar-Mantar would start.
These are claims made by the CJP, and we do not know yet if they are true.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday alleged that hall owners were pressured by the BJP to deny them a venue for their Delhi meeting.
CJP leader Dipke claimed several owners refused, saying there was 'pressure from above' not to give a hall to CJP members.
Dipke also alleged that the people who finally agreed to provide a hall were threatened on Wednesday morning.
CJP spokesperson Ratna Singh said the party moved the meeting to a nearby park, where troublemakers threatened them while police stood by as 'mute spectators'.
At the meeting, Dipke said that 'Season 2 of Jantar-Mantar' would start very soon, responding to comments on Instagram.
