CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Seeks Amit Shah's Resignation Over July 20 Protest Crackdown
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation, alleging that the police action during the July 20 "Sansad Chalo" march could only have taken place on the Home Minister's orders. The allegation has not been independently established, and it represents Dipke's political claim.

Dipke Demands Shah's Resignation
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday called for Amit Shah to resign over the police action during the July 20 Parliament march by students protesting examination irregularities. Dipke alleged that the use of force against protesters must have been authorised at the highest level.
Allegations Over Police Action
Dipke said the treatment of protesters was unacceptable and argued that such action could not have happened without instructions from senior authorities.
These allegations are Dipke's claims; the available reports do not establish that Amit Shah personally ordered the operation.
Broader Protest Dispute
The July 20 "Sansad Chalo" march formed part of the wider CJP-led protests over alleged examination irregularities. The demonstrations and subsequent police action have become a major political issue, with Opposition leaders also criticising the government's handling of the protests.
Government Response
The allegations have not been accepted as established fact by the government in the cited reports. The dispute remains part of the wider political confrontation over the protests and the government's response to student concerns.
Separately, the Delhi government has announced that 13 FIRs connected with the CJP protest will be withdrawn, while saying the relief will not apply to people with criminal antecedents.
Looking Ahead
Dipke's demand adds further pressure on the Centre over the handling of the July 20 protests. The political debate is likely to continue alongside discussions over examination reforms and accountability.
