CJP leader claims government plans arrests ahead of October 10 protest

Saurav Das, a key leader of the Confederation of Indian Peasants (CJP), has alleged that the government is planning to arrest him, fellow CJP figure Abhijeet Dipke, and other party officials ahead of a scheduled protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10.

In a statement posted on social media, Das cautioned against such action, asserting that "the young will not tolerate this." The comment reflects growing tensions between the organisation and authorities as the planned demonstration approaches.

The CJP has been actively organising farmers' protests and represents various agricultural constituencies across India. The alleged pre-arrest strategy, if confirmed, would represent an attempt to preempt the October 10 gathering by removing key organisational figures beforehand.

Authorities have not issued any formal statements regarding arrest plans. The situation underscores ongoing disputes between government agencies and farmer-led organisations over protest permissions and public order management in the national capital. The October 10 demonstration is expected to draw significant participation from agricultural and allied sector workers.
