New Delhi, July 7 -- In a big relief for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), the Delhi High Court ordered the unblocking of the outfit's X account. The order was passed by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told the court why the account was blocked. Mehta said that the step was taken in light of the NEET re-exam as certain posts "could have created chaos" among students and parents. He later said that since the exam is now over, the concerns no longer remain.
Taking the submissions into account, Justice Sharma ordered the restoration of the X account and said that "the primary concern underlying the blocking order was no longer relevant". The NEET re-exam took place on June 21, weeks after the earlier examination was cancelled after paper leak was found.
Why was CJP's X account blocked?
The Cockroach Janta Party was started as a satire outfit but gained prominence among the youth after the NEET exam cancellation, that had triggered massive outrage among aspirants and their parents.
