Political Reactions Emerge Over CJPs Planned Tiranga Yatra in Delhi
The proposed Tiranga Yatra by the CJP has sparked political debate, with NDA leaders questioning its agenda while others defend the right to protest.
New Delhi, October 15 (Daily Kiran) : Political tensions have escalated in New Delhi ahead of the Cockroach People’s Party (CJP) planned Tiranga Yatra, set to take place on October 16 from Central Park. Leaders from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) have welcomed the initiative but raised concerns about the underlying motives.
Sanjay Jaiswal, a BJP MP from Bettiah, praised the yatra, emphasizing the importance of respecting India and its national flag. He stated, “People should honor India, its citizens, and the peaceful progress of the nation. No one should work towards the agenda of foreign powers.” Jaiswal also referenced the ongoing SIR issue, asserting that no one has been able to identify any errors in it. He claimed that the Election Commission of India has adequately addressed all allegations being raised, yet misinformation continues to spread deliberately.
In Patna, Minister Ram Kripal Yadav acknowledged the right to protest in a democracy. He remarked, “CJP is free to use the Tiranga Yatra to express their dissent. It is their democratic right.” However, he issued a stern warning regarding respect for the national flag, noting that there are laws and regulations governing its use. Yadav stressed that anyone carrying the national flag must ensure it is treated with the utmost respect.
Meanwhile, in Mumbai, Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC launched a sharp critique of CJP’s move. She stated, “Flying the Tiranga is not a crime, but questions will arise about your agenda. People will want to know how many protests you will hold in succession.” Shaina added, “This is not like a Zomato app where you decide daily on protests at different locations. People are now aware of the extent of this drama and theatrics.”
JDU’s national general secretary Shyam Rajak commented that everyone has the right to organize events, a fundamental democratic right. However, he cautioned that if such events disrupt peace or law and order, the government has the authority to intervene.
