Bhagwan Dipke, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke's father, criticised the central government's handling of Jantar Mantar protests. He said he was worried about his son after the police action but wouldn't ask him to end the protest. Abhijeet's mother, Anita Dipke, also criticised the police action, saying the students should have been heard instead of being lathi-charged.
