Why Are They Stopping Us? Dipke Slams Police as Wangchuk's Health Worsens

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar completed eleven days on Tuesday, with founder Abhijeet Dipke alleging heavy police deployment and curbs on supporters' entry, even as activist Sonam Wangchuk's health deteriorated on the third day of his hunger strike.

Dipke claimed police were blocking entry for core team members and that transport arrangements were also being obstructed to keep supporters away. He later clarified some were turned away only for lacking ID cards, while questioning why ordinary citizens needed identification to access Jantar Mantar at all. He further alleged several farmer leaders were under house arrest and accused police of restricting protesters while ignoring those responsible for violence elsewhere.

A health bulletin showed Wangchuk's blood pressure at 117/60 , oxygen saturation at 96, pulse at 92, and blood sugar at 66 below normal on the third day of his fast, which began Sunday. The examining doctor noted extreme heat was making the fast difficult. CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said Wangchuk's condition must be taken seriously and warned Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan would be held responsible for any adverse outcome.

Dipke also flagged a fresh Rajasthan Paramedical Council paper leak , allegedly from a Jaipur college, calling it proof of " double engine-double leak " governance failures beyond NEET. He claimed over twenty students had died due to examination irregularities and said the agitation would expand to other accountability issues, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

On Monday, Wangchuk had insisted the protest was "not anti-national," urging a sensitive government response. Separately, six AISA members including national president Neha and JNUSU joint secretary Danish entered their second day of a parallel hunger strike. The protest began on June 20 over alleged NEET and exam irregularities.
