Modi is using a cannon to kill a cockroach

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in India deplatformed a satirical account called 'Cockroach Janta Party' (CJP), created by college students after Chief Justice Surya Kant compared unemployed youth to cockroaches. The account gained millions of followers on Instagram and X, but the government targeted it as a national security threat, removed its website, and accused founder Abhijeet Dipke of foreign influence. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court against the founder. The article calls this reaction disproportionate, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
