Mumbai: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activists on Friday held a ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ protest at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Hundreds of CJP supporters and members of student organisations attended the event, many of them carrying the national flag and shouting slogans against the government.
Activist Anjali Damania, who addressed the protesters, sought accountability for the “brutality” of Delhi Police towards protesters in the national capital.
Mumbai police had granted CJP permission to organise its ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ rally at Azad Maidan, an official said.
The protest was organised to express solidarity with CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, who were sent to five-day judicial custody on Wednesday after entering Jantar Mantar in the national capital and raising slogans demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.
