Just the beginning, long way to go: Abhijit Dipkes morning post as CJP calls off Jantar Mantar agitation

PTC News Desk: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday shared a video message thanking supporters after ending the 37-day protest at Jantar Mantar. He said the movement's success was possible because of the public's support and added that he could finally "sleep peacefully" without worrying about what would happen next.

Dipke also apologised to supporters who had gathered at the protest site, saying he could not meet them personally because he was unwell.

"I sincerely apologise. I couldn't meet everyone who was waiting at Jantar Mantar or thank them because I have typhoid and a high fever. My temperature was 101 degrees, so I had to return home," he said.

Dipke thanked supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party across the country for backing the movement despite criticism and doubts from opponents.

"And most of all, I would like to thank each and every supporter of the Cockroach Janata Party spread across India.The people who supported us and trusted us, who loved us when everybody was doubting us, I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Dipke also acknowledged critics of the party, saying their doubts and questions had helped the organisation improve.

"And the people who doubted us, criticized us, or questioned us that you guys are not serious, you guys don't know how to protest, I want to thank them as well. If you guys wouldn't have criticized us, if you guys wouldn't have questioned us, we wouldn't have been able to improve. Cockroach Janata Party has a long way to go, and for sure we will go a long way. This is just a beginning. Jai Hind, " he said.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday called off its 36-day-long protest at Jantar Mantar over the NEET issue, shortly after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned from the Union Council of Ministers.
