Protesters from the Cockroach Janta Party have gathered in Delhi, signaling intent to march to parliament despite police-imposed bans on large gatherings.
The brief
Members of the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, have assembled at Jantar Mantar to initiate a march toward the Indian parliament. The Guardian, BBC, and The Hindu report that thousands have gathered at the site ahead of the movement.
Hindustan Times and NDTV emphasize the logistical preparations in Delhi, including police readiness and concerns expressed by figures such as Sonam Wangchuk and Dipke regarding potential government intervention or efforts to end the demonstration.
