The CJP co-founder alleges that the government is prioritising the suppression of protests in Delhi over national security concerns, using a video statement to question its approach to dissent and border preparedness.
New Delhi, October 23, 2026 — Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) co-founder Abhijeet Dipke has questioned the Modi government’s priorities, contrasting the legal proceedings involving American national Matthew VanDyke with concerns over India’s military preparedness along the China border and restrictions on protests in Delhi.
In a video statement, Dipke referred to reports concerning VanDyke, an American accused of training armed groups in Myanmar to fight against India. He questioned why Indian authorities should object to VanDyke returning to the United States, while using sarcasm to highlight what he portrayed as a lack of urgency over national security concerns.
“Such a big national security threat” would arise if someone wanted to wave the Indian flag, Dipke said sarcastically, contrasting that scenario with the alleged training of armed groups.
Dipke also raised concerns about reports that Indian forces had described confronting China as difficult. He linked the issue to what he alleged was the deployment of security personnel in Delhi to manage protests, rather than focusing on border security.
Turning to demonstrations in the national capital, the CJP co-founder accused the government of being more concerned about preventing protests and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar than addressing strategic challenges.
“Delhi mein kisi ne protest nahi karna chahiye,” he said, criticising what he portrayed as an effort to project a strong-leader image through action against protesting students.
Dipke’s statement framed the alleged treatment of protesters, the VanDyke case and concerns over China as examples of misplaced government priorities.
Dipke had been detained by the Delhi Police last week while he sought to go to the Connaught Place as part of the protest calls. CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Daas were sent to judicial custody for allegedly violating bonds. AISA president Neha Bora on Friday faced setback as the Delhi High Court rejected her petition against the police notice for a bond.
