The Ministry of External Affairs said the Indian government has no knowledge of any visa suspension or deportation regarding Abhijeet Dipke [1].
This denial comes as supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) prepare for a large rally at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The uncertainty surrounding Dipke's legal status in the U.S. creates a point of contention for the party's leadership and its base.
During a media briefing in New Delhi, a spokesperson for the ministry addressed questions regarding whether the U.S. government had informed India about Dipke's situation [1]. The spokesperson said the government is not aware of any such action taken against the CJP founder [2].
Dipke is the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, a political entity currently organizing public demonstrations. The planned rally at Jantar Mantar is intended to serve as a significant gathering for the party's followers, but the speculation over Dipke's deportation has overshadowed the event's logistics [2].
Government officials have not provided further details on whether they intend to seek clarification from U.S. authorities. The ministry's response remains limited to the fact that no formal notification of deportation, or visa cancellation, has been received by the Indian state [1].
As the date for the Jantar Mantar rally approaches, the CJP has not issued a formal statement confirming or denying the reports of Dipke's removal from the U.S. The ministry's briefing serves as the official government stance on the matter to date [2].
“The government has no knowledge of any visa suspension or deportation of Abhijeet Dipke.”
The lack of official communication between the U.S. and Indian governments regarding Dipke's status suggests either that no deportation has occurred or that the process has not reached a stage requiring formal diplomatic notification. For the Cockroach Janta Party, this ambiguity creates a vacuum of information that may affect the momentum and leadership presence of their upcoming New Delhi rally.
