CJP's Tiranga call at Connaught Place on Oct 16

And more on the protest, the top brass of Delhi police will hold a high-level meeting at police headquarters today. The goal is to plan fresh strategies, including security and traffic arrangement, for the 16th of October. The Cockroach Janata Party founder, Abhijit Deepke, has called on patriots to gather at Central Park in Connaught Place on Friday with the national flag. He alleges that CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been jailed only for unfurling the tricolour. The call came on Wednesday when the duo were remanded to five-day judicial custody and sent to the Har Jail. This is for trespassing into Jantar Mantar, which has been denotified as a protest area. Officials in the intelligence branch are gathering inputs on the expected crowd and which political parties, student groups and civil society activists would be joining CJP's Tiranga Lehrao call. The Aam Aadmi Party has already extended its support. Delhi Police have requested the Union Home Ministry to extend the deployment of 273 companies of Central Armed Police Forces until 20 October. The meeting, that will be chaired by Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar today, is expected to see discussions on precautionary measures that are needed to be put into place to ensure prohibitory orders under Section 163 of BNSS are not violated. The proposed demonstration comes amid a wider political dispute over restrictions on protests at Jantar Mantar and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions.
