People of India should ensure the biggest mobilisation starting October 10th,” Das said. “The protests must continue.
He also accused police of detaining, assaulting and manhandling young protesters during the ongoing demonstrations and referred to the violence witnessed during the July 20 protest. Why won’t they speak to us?
In a post on X, Das alleged that the government believed such actions would suppress the movement, but said the “young generation has awakened”. He appealed to people to continue protesting for their rights and future, “with or without us”. We have given them two or three minutes; otherwise, we are going to storm inside,” Das told news agency ANI while addressing protesters outside the police station. Das said he and Singh had gone to the Parliament Street police station to support the woman and alleged that Delhi Police had not cooperated with her. “Today, on behalf of the ‘Cockroach Janata Party,’ Ratna Singh and I have come to the Parliament Street Police Station to support the victim,” he said.
Das, who was at the police station along with CJP legal team lead Ratna Singh, the complainant and her lawyers, demanded that police register an FIR in the case. He questioned the police for not meeting the protesters, saying they had been waiting for a response from the authorities. “The complainant, the victim, is here, along with her lawyers and the rest of us.
The post came hours after protests were held outside Parliament Street police station on Sunday following allegations by a woman journalist that Delhi Police personnel had molested and sexually assaulted her during a protest.
