CJP Removes Vijeta Dahiya as Spokesperson After Viral Fast-Food Video Controversy

New Delhi: In a swift disciplinary move, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has stripped spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya of all official duties after a viral video showed him taking a fast-food break while peaceful demonstrators and party workers were subjected to violent police force in the capital.

The official action follows intense online backlash over footage that captured Dahiya at a nearby mall outlet during the party's high-stakes "Chalo Sansad" march. 

The viral encounter sparked widespread outrage across social media, where critics contrasted Dahiya's leisure break with the plight of grassroots activists facing lathicharges, tear gas, and detentions on the streets.

CJP Condemns "Deeply Insensitive" Actions

Issuing an official statement, the CJP leadership condemned Dahiya's conduct in strong terms, emphasising that his behaviour diverged sharply from the core ethics.

"We strongly condemn the deeply insensitive actions of our spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya, whose videos surfaced while peaceful protestors and our team were facing brutal police violence," the party said in a formal announcement. "Such conduct is unacceptable, shows a complete lack of judgment, and is wholly inconsistent with the values and principles of our movement."

The leadership confirmed that Dahiya was relieved of all party roles with immediate effect to maintain accountability and demonstrate solidarity with injured activists.

The controversy escalated rapidly after onlookers confronted Dahiya inside a fast-food joint during the heat of the demonstration.
