Abhijeet wrote that his family still receives threats. He asked whether the authorities would take action on these threats.

Abhijeet’s parents told a Marathi news channel that the social media movement in the name of Cockroach Janata Party could lead to legal action against their son. He expressed concern that Abhijeet could be arrested.

Abhijeet Deepak, a student of America’s Boston University, started the Cockroach Janata Party on social media a few weeks ago.

Within a week, the number of Instagram followers of this party crossed 2 crores. BJP, which claims to be the world’s largest party, has less than half the number of followers on Instagram. While this party has 2 crore followers, BJP has about 93 lakh followers and Congress party has about 1 crore 30 lakh followers.

This movement started on May 15 when Supreme Court Chief Justice Justice Surya Kant made some remarks during the hearing of a case.

During the hearing of the case, Justice Surya Kant commented, “There are already parasites attacking the system in the society. Do you also want to join them? Some youth are spreading everywhere like cockroaches, without jobs and without identity in their work. They are attacking the system by becoming media, social media and RTI activists.”

However, when discussion on his comments started on social media, Justice Surya Kant said that a group had distorted his comments.

“I and my family are receiving constant threats. I am worried about my family at home,” he said.

While Abhijeet is worried about his parents, his parents are worried about his safety.

Abhijeet’s father said, “It is natural to feel scared considering the current politics. Abhijeet himself had said in an interview that if he comes to India, he will be arrested. We keep reading about such incidents in newspapers.”

Abhijeet’s mother suggested that it would be better for her son to stay away from politics and focus on his career.

She said, “We want him to come home safely. It is his decision whether to stay in politics or not. But we do not want him to interfere in politics. I don’t know whether he will listen to us or not. I will not support him in this matter. I am worried about him.”

Abhijeet, 30, moved to Boston two years ago for higher education. He has been there since then.

Abhijeet’s father said that his son had gone abroad for studies. Abhijeet’s sister is already in America.

He said, instead of joining politics, Abhijeet wants to work in cities like Pune or Delhi.

Abhijeet’s father said, “He told me that he had a large number of followers on social media. He used to work in the Aam Aadmi Party. But I told him that we do not want politics and we should join the job.”

He expressed concern that the popularity gained after establishing this platform on social media has given him sleepless nights.

He said, “He could be arrested. I have been worried for two days about what will happen to him. I hate politics. I am not interested in it.”

Some people are opposing Abhijeet’s movement.

BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey said, “Abhijeet Deepak is an Aadmi Party worker. Arvind Kejriwal’s party is here. Who paid him to go to Boston? Is the Soros Foundation paying for his accommodation and food? This is a warning to the opposition. Do you want the help of foreign powers to break the country?” A message previously posted onAlong with this message, Abhijeet Deepak also posted a photo with former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia.

Referring to some tweets of Abhijit X, National General Secretary of BJP affiliated Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga Criticized Abhijeet.

Retweeting Abhijeet’s first tweet, Tajinder Bagga wrote, “Why does Abhijeet Deepak want a Muslim PM for India like a cockroach?”

Abhijeet earlier tweeted, “Gujarati Muslim Zohran Mamdani won the most prestigious election in America and became the mayor of the world’s largest city. Will a Gujarati Muslim get such an opportunity in India under Modi?”
