CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said they would protest if the BCI chairman did not withdraw the order. Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has revived the slogan that gave birth to his satirical movement, this time turning his attention to the legal fraternity amid the ongoing row between the Bar Council of India (BCI) and NALSAR University of Law.Abhijeet Dipke, head of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) speaks during an interview at his home in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, (REUTERS)“What if all legal cockroaches come together?” Dipke posted on X as he referred to the BCI’s decision to halt the enrolment of NALSAR’s 2026 law graduates as advocates until further orders.The BCI on Thursday directed state bar councils not to enrol the graduates following an alleged campaign by students opposing Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant being invited as chief guest at the university’s convocation.

He founded the Cockroach Janta Party after CJI Surya Kant referred to the country’s youth as “cockroaches” and “parasites of society”. Dipke’s question on X, “What if all cockroaches came together?”, became the starting point for the CJP.The group evolved from a satirical social media movement into large-scale youth protests across several cities, ultimately forcing the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as Union education minister. With CJI Surya Kant once again at the centre of a national dispute with law students, Dipke's CJP, now a ‘pressure group’, appears to be mobilising again.‘Legal cockroaches unite’: CJPThe founder's post led to a response from CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das. “Much needed,” he said."The Bar Council of India needs to be looked into. Manan Mishra has been its Chairman since 2012. What has he done? Needs to be accounted for. All legal cockroaches, your task is cut out. Let’s fix BCI’s accountability. Let’s fix Mishra’s accountability. #LegalCockroachesUnite,” Das wrote on X.Follow the latest breaking news, major developments and agenda-setting stories from India and around the world with the newsdesk at Hindustan Times.
