The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has removed Vijeta Dahiya from the post of party spokesperson after a video circulating on social media triggered controversy during the party's protest in New Delhi.
In an official statement issued on Tuesday, the party said it had taken disciplinary action against Dahiya and strongly condemned what it described as his "deeply insensitive actions." The decision came after videos allegedly showed him leaving the protest site and eating a burger while the demonstration was underway.
Viral Video Fuels Public Debate
The controversy gained momentum after the footage spread widely across social media platforms, prompting criticism from supporters and political observers. In response to the backlash, Dahiya reportedly defended his actions, saying he had stepped away because he was hungry.
His explanation, however, failed to quell criticism, with the incident becoming a talking point amid the party's ongoing protest campaign.
Party Acts Swiftly
Seeking to distance itself from the controversy, the CJP announced Dahiya's removal from the spokesperson's role, stating that his conduct did not align with the values and discipline expected from party representatives.
The party emphasized that it viewed the incident seriously and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its public movement.
Protest Continues Amid Political Attention
The disciplinary action comes as the CJP's protests continue to attract national attention, with developments surrounding the demonstrations remaining under close public and political scrutiny.
The episode highlights how social media can rapidly influence public perception during high-profile political events, prompting organisations to respond quickly to actions involving their representatives. Further reactions from party leaders and Dahiya are expected as the controversy continues to unfold.
