New Delhi, July 27 -- Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday announced that it is launching a website to raise public contributions for a legal aid fund to protect those who participated in protests and were facing legal action.

Addressing a press conference in the national capital, the CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said the party had sought legal guidance from senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal before calling off the 37-day agitation on July 25.

The CJP flagged apprehension of post-protest targeting of individuals, citing a "playbook" used in previous agitations to implicate protestors in false cases.

Das said the outfit had consulted Sibal for legal guidance both before and after calling off its nationwide protests.
