CJP Condemns Dhruv Rathee's Detention, Calls It Start of 'Jantar Mantar 2.0'

The Citizens Justice Party (CJP) has condemned the detention of activist Dhruv Rathee, characterizing it as part of an "aggressive, citywide government crackdown designed to silence democratic dissent regarding electoral roll irregularities."

The party invoked historical parallels, dubbing the action as the beginning of "Jantar Mantar 2.0," suggesting a pattern of suppression similar to past protest movements.

Rathee's detention has drawn criticism from opposition quarters, who argue it represents attempts to stifle legitimate democratic expression and scrutiny of electoral processes. The incident underscores ongoing tensions between civil society activists and government authorities over electoral transparency and governance accountability.
