CJP protest leaders calling for election chief's resignation released
Two leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) have been released after spending a week in jail for trespassing at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, a banned protest site. They had been detained after crossing barricades while protesting and calling for the resignation of India's chief election commissioner, accusing him of manipulating voter rolls to benefit the ruling party. The CJP, which originated as an internet joke and evolved into a political movement, now focuses on electoral issues, including allegations against the Election Commission’s revamp of voter lists, which critics say may disenfranchise eligible voters.
