The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), whose demonstrations have recently stirred unrest in New Delhi and other Indian cities, is now planning to hold a protest march in Kolkata. According to a report by Anandabazar, the group has emailed Kolkata Police seeking permission to organize the event this Friday.

The email, sent on July 19 and July 21 by a person named Dedipya Gangopadhyay who identified himself as a CJP member, requested approval to march from College Square to Rani Rashmoni Road at 4 p.m. on Friday. The message also mentioned an expected gathering of about 1,500 participants. Kolkata Police confirmed receiving the email but stated that permission for the march has not yet been granted.

The planned demonstration marks the CJP’s first attempt to extend its movement to West Bengal following widespread protests in the national capital and other regions.
