NEW DELHI: Cockraoch Janta Party (CJP) Sunday claimed 30-40 "goons" from the ruling BJP and the Delhi Police are lurking to "create mischieve" at the Jantar Mantar protest site, which remains tense after Sonam Wangcuk was removed on the Day 21 of his indefinite hunger.Further, citing the sources, the party of the activists claimed that an attempt can be made to raise anti-India provocative statements."Sources: 30-40 goons from BJP and Delhi Police have infiltrated our protest site and will try to make anti-India provocative statements to create mischief today.

We have to expose and reject such people - they are not supporters of CJP or Sonam Wangchuk!" CJP posted on X.In another post, the CJP posted a photo of a security personnel sitting with a tear gas gun at the protest site.Earlier, Wangchuk described the proposed July 20 Parliament march as India's "second freedom movement", calling for "freedom from fear" and "freedom from injustice" while urging supporters to make the mobilisation a "big success".In a handwritten message shared from Safdarjung Hospital through his wife Gitanjali J Angmo, Wangchuk linked "freedom from injustice" to alleged paper leaks and "freedom from fear" to what he described as his "illegal detention".The note, shared on X through Wangchuk's account, read: "20th July.

India's second freedom movement. Freedom from injustice (like paper leaks). Freedom from fear (my illegal detention)." It further said, "March to the Parliament. Please make it a big success." The note was signed off with the words, "Sent through Gitanjali from my illegal detention at Safdarjung." The reference to "illegal detention" appears to reiterate Wangchuk's allegation that he is being kept at Safdarjung Hospital against his wishes after being forcibly taken away from the Jantar Mantar protest site.The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has called for the July 20 Parliament march, demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, reforms in the examination system and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.Wangchuk, who joined the CJP agitation on June 28, was forcefully shifted to Safdarjung Hospital after his prolonged hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
