Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has alleged a widespread crackdown on the party's digital presence, resulting in the loss of access to all social media accounts. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Dipke detailed the extent of the crackdown, which includes the hacking of his personal and party Instagram accounts, the withholding of his Twitter account, and the takedown of a backup account.
The party's official website, cockroachjantaparty.org, has also been taken down and is no longer accessible. Dipke's statements suggest a coordinated effort to silence the party's online activities.
Details of the Crackdown
Dipke posted on X: "Crackdown on Cockroach Janta Party. - Instagram page hacked. - My personal Instagram hacked. - Twitter account withheld - Backup account also taken down." The post highlights the systematic nature of the attack on the party's digital infrastructure.
Impact on the Party
The loss of access to these platforms severely hampers the party's ability to communicate with supporters and the public. The website takedown further compounds the issue, removing a key resource for information dissemination. It remains unclear who is behind the crackdown, but Dipke's use of the term suggests government involvement.
As of now, there has been no official statement from social media platforms or authorities regarding the incidents. The CJP, known for its satirical and critical stance on Indian politics, has faced controversies in the past. This latest development marks a significant escalation in the challenges faced by the party.
