Summary

Cockroach Party Demands

The Cockroach Janata Party staged a “Lehra Do Tiranga” protest at Mandi House demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.
Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma warned that regime change must occur through votes, not “lumpen elements”.
Police recorded slogans “Reclaim Jantar Mantar” and “Gyanesh Kumar, resign,” indicating political targeting.
An August 24 prohibitory order extended to Barakhamba Road and Tilak Marg, restricting central-Delhi rallies.

History

Historical Context

During the 1975-77 Emergency, the Supreme Court’s ADM Jabalpur decision (4-1 majority) let the government suspend habeas corpus, enabling Indira Gandhi’s administration to detain about 1.5 million activists. A 1992 Delhi High Court order later imposed a INR5,000 protest bond. Today, AISA leader Neha Bora rejects a INR10,000 bond and the Cockroach Janata Party rallies, echoing those historic limits on dissent.
