‘Never Seen A Bigger Coward And Bully’: Abhijeet Dipke Attacks PM Modi After Release
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi shortly after being released from preventive detention in Delhi.
In his first public reaction following his release on Sunday, October 11, Dipke accused the Prime Minister of intimidating dissenting voices and used strongly critical language to describe his leadership.
“Modi, as PM, is an embarrassment to India. Never has this country seen a bigger coward and bully,” Dipke wrote in a post on X.
The remarks came approximately 24 hours after Dipke and two fellow CJP organisers, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were detained by Delhi Police.
The three had arrived at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Saturday to participate in a planned protest at Jantar Mantar.
The demonstration had been organised to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations concerning the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
Delhi Police had denied permission for the gathering, citing insufficient advance notice, alleged non-compliance during earlier demonstrations and public-order concerns.
Despite the restrictions, protesters attempted to gather across parts of the capital, prompting extensive police deployments and preventive detentions.
Following their detention, Dipke and his colleagues were produced before an executive magistrate in Delhi Cantonment.
They were subsequently released on the condition that they maintain public peace for one year, with a surety bond of ₹50,000 each.
Dipke’s remarks against the Prime Minister have added another dimension to the controversy surrounding the protest and the police response.
His criticism reflects the position of the CJP leadership and should not be interpreted as an independently established assessment of the Prime Minister.
The developments have brought renewed attention to the use of preventive detention during demonstrations and the legal conditions imposed on organisers seeking to hold public protests.
Meanwhile, CJP supporters have continued discussing further demonstrations, with organisers reiterating their demand for accountability over electoral roll revisions.
The Election Commission has defended the revision process, while allegations of deliberate electoral manipulation remain contested.
The episode has intensified public discussion around freedom of expression, the right to peaceful assembly and the boundaries of political criticism in India.
