On Oct 3, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced that its planned protest at Jantar Mantar on Oct 10 will be peaceful and called on all citizens seeking free and fair elections to join, according to a PTI‑syndicated statement reported by News18. Party founder and convener Abhijeet Dipke said the rally will proceed only if Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar does not resign, adding that any police attempt to stop the march would become a new “Jantar Mantar.” He emphasized that the demonstration will follow Mahatma Gandhi’s non‑violent philosophy and draw on historic civil‑disobedience to protect democratic institutions. The CJP’s statement followed a large gathering at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on Oct 2, where thousands protested despite police restrictions and also called for a fresh agitation in Delhi if the CEC remained in office.
