Why did CJP’s Jantar Mantar protest trend across India?
The Jantar Mantar protest gained nationwide attention after thousands of protesters affiliated with the cockroach Janata Party (CJP) gathered in Delhi to press for education reforms and accountability. Tension escalated when police intervened during the protests, with clashes, use of force and reports of several protesters being injured.
The incident triggered sharp political reactions and sparked widespread public debate over the handling of the Delhi protests. Photos and videos of the protests circulated widely online, while hashtags related to the CJP protests, Jantar Mantar news and Delhi news climbed the trending charts. The discussion also extended beyond politics, with celebrities, journalists, and other public figures sharing posts expressing concern or commenting on the events.

Suryakumar Yadav’s wife Devisha Shetty reposted a message titled “Violence is not democracy” on her Instagram story. The post argued that once people pelt stones, attack police personnel, break barricades and damage public property, they are no longer participating in a peaceful protest but breaking the law.
Suryakumar Yadav’s wife posted on Instagram, “But violence is not democracy. The moment you throw stones. Attack police. Break barricades. Destroy public property. You are no longer protesting.. you are breaking the law.”
Jasprit Bumrah’s wife Sanjana Ganesan also shared an Instagram story related to the CJP protest in Delhi. The post expressed concern over reports of children being exposed to tear gas, saying that if such an incident could happen to a six-year-old child participating in a protest, it could happen to anyone.
“If this can happen to a six-year-old child sitting away from a protest, it can happen to anyone. Children being suffocated by tear gas should not be normalized in any democracy. No peaceful citizen should have to fear the very people who are meant to protect them,” Jasprit Bumrah’s wife posted.
