New Delhi, June 29 -- Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), alleged on Monday that supporters of their ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, which has now entered its tenth day, are being questioned by the police, and that basic facilities are being denied at the protest site.
Dipke claimed that police questioned tea vendor Aniket Patil, who invited him to his stall, and visited his home and warehouse to inquire about the source of the tea supplied to the protesters.
Questioning the action, Dipke asked whether selling tea had become a crime, noting that those bringing food and water to the protesters were similarly questioned.
He announced that he would bring roses and tea for the police personnel on Tuesday at 11.30 am and urged them to remember their duty as the country's law enforcement.
Dipke also alleged that protesters had to hold a demonstration late Sunday night to demand a portable toilet facility for Wangchuk during his hunger strike. He pointed out that basic amenities, including water supply at public toilets in Jantar Mantar, are inadequate.
