Ahead of a planned protest, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has asked its supporters not to gather at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport to welcome party founder Abhijeet Dipke.

The overwhelming response from those who want the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan to our call to join us at Delhi Airport was beyond our imagination.

The protest aims to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan concerning the NEET exam paper leak controversy. Dipke had initially invited supporters to meet him at the airport, an invitation that the political satire group stated received an unexpectedly large response.

In an X post, the CJP explained that a large gathering at the airport would be "not feasible." The party cited potential disruption to normal operations and difficulties for travelers and security personnel as reasons for discouraging the airport reception. "So please do not come to Delhi airport," the statement read.

It is not feasible for so many people to assemble at the airport as it would cause inconvenience to the public and the security forces. So please do not come to Delhi airport.

Instead of converging at the airport, supporters have been informed that Dipke will proceed directly to the Parliament Street Police Station. There, he will personally seek permission for the planned peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. The party emphasized its intention for a peaceful demonstration.

Instead, I will be going to the Parliament Street Police station to seek permission directly for our peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.
