CJP March: Police Lathicharge Protesters Near Parliament Street; Several Detained In recent years, New Delhi has seen a surge in protests and demonstrations sparked by contentious issues that challenge the status quo.
The Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) 'Chalo Sansad' march on Monday was the latest example of this phenomenon. Despite prohibitory orders in force, hundreds of protesters attempted to march towards Parliament Street.
The scene near Jantar Mantar was a stark reminder of the delicate balance between rights and restrictions. Police and Rapid Action Force personnel used lathis to disperse the crowd, leaving several protesters detained.
