MUMBAI, Aug. 2 -- Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday backed 15-year-old Ruchika Singh, who has been booked for allegedly using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and questioned whether similar legal action would be taken against members of the BJP's IT cell, whom he accused of routinely using abusive and derogatory language on social media against women, opposition leaders, students and others seeking accountability. Dipke alleged that BJP IT cell members had for years used "reprehensible" language against women while many of them prominently displayed "Followed by PM Modi" in their social media biographies. His remarks came after Ruchika Singh, a resident of Noida, was booked by the Uttar Pradesh Police under Sections 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 353(1) (statements conducive to public mischief) and 356(1) (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). In videos that went viral on social media, Ruchika, who was angry over lack of accountability from the government and police brutality on peaceful protesters, was seen using abusive language against the PM while participating in a students' protest at Jantar Mantar. After the case was registered, the 15-year-old issued a public apology, calling it her "first and last mistake". Responding to the development, Dipke questioned what he described as an inconsistency in the application of the law. "If criminal cases are now being filed over the use of abusive language, when will similar action be taken against members of the BJP's IT cell, who for years have subjected women to vile, misogynistic abuse on social media?" he said in a video statement posted on his X account....
