Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has shared a deeply heartfelt message for individuals who find themselves far away from their homes and loved ones during the festive season of Diwali. Taking to his official account on X, he expressed solidarity with everyone missing the warmth of family while celebrating away from native places.
Reflecting on his personal experiences, Abhijeet Dipke recalled the time he spent living abroad when he had to spend two consecutive Diwalis completely away from his family. Because of that personal background, he noted that he understands precisely how profound the longing for home and family feels during major festivals. He offered extra love to all those spending the holiday away from their households and expressed hope that they would get to celebrate the next Diwali surrounded by their dear ones.
Special Wishes for Frontline Workers and Service Personnel
In his holiday message, Abhijeet Dipke made it a point to remember the numerous individuals whose professional duties keep them away from home even on celebratory days. He specifically extended his warmest Diwali greetings to armed forces personnel, police officers, healthcare workers, and employees working across the airline, railway, and road transport sectors.
Furthermore, he acknowledged firefighters, sanitation workers, security staff, students living away in hostels, people studying or working abroad, and migrant workers. He emphasized that every single person who remains away from their family during the festival deserves extra affection and good wishes, sentiments he shared through his post on X.
Academic Background and Recent Rally in Kochi
On the educational front, Abhijeet Dipke completed his studies at Boston University in the United States and spent a significant duration living overseas. Just recently on Saturday, he addressed a public rally in Kochi, Kerala. During his address there, he asserted firmly that despite facing arrests and physical attacks, he would continue his nationwide journey carrying the national flag.
Speaking at the protest gathering organized under the CJP Jantar Mantar at Kochi campaign against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the special intensive revision of voter lists, he criticized the Prime Minister and the ruling party. He accused them of attempting to control citizens' dietary habits, personal relationships, and voting rights. He declared that his political struggle would persist until a completely independent and fair electoral system is firmly established across the nation.
Recalling Arrest Over the National Flag
During his speech, Abhijeet Dipke also brought up his previous arrest in Delhi alongside fellow CJP members Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka for entering Jantar Mantar while carrying the national flag. He stated unequivocally that wherever he travels, he will continue to carry the tricolor with him.
He voiced strong dismay over being put behind bars merely for attempting to hoist and display the national emblem. Drawing a sharp historical parallel, he remarked that such an action against people carrying the flag had not occurred in independent India since the era when the country remained under British colonial rule.
