Indian Graduate's Parody Party Account Banned as National Security Threat
A young man named Dipke had just finished his master's degree.
India's top judge, the Chief Justice, said something unkind about young people, comparing them to cockroaches and parasites.
Dipke thought that was not fair, so he wrote about it on Twitter.
Many people saw his post and shared it, so it spread very fast.
Then he made a funny fake political party called Cockroach Janta Party.
It was a joke, and lots of people liked it.
But the Indian government was not happy.
Just four days later, it banned his Twitter accounts.
The government said he was a threat to the country's security.
Dipke says he loves his country, just not in the way the government wants him to.
Dipke, a recent master's graduate, tweeted criticism of the Chief Justice of India's comment comparing youth to cockroaches and parasites.
The tweet blew up, with people reposting and resharing it widely.
He then launched a parody political account called 'Cockroach Janta Party' that gained huge traction.
Within four days, the Indian government banned his social media accounts on Twitter, calling him a national security threat.
Dipke said, 'I love my country, but not the way govt wants.'
