Ahead of a significant protest planned for today in Delhi, the Citizens' Justice Party (CJP) has issued a set of guidelines aimed at ensuring a peaceful and respectful demonstration. The CJP, led by its founder Abhijeet Dipke, intends to gather at Jantar Mantar, a site known for public protests.

Central to the CJP's approach is a commitment to non-violence. The guidelines explicitly state 'no hinsa' (no violence) and encourage participants to engage positively with authorities. Specifically, protesters are instructed to offer flowers to the police, a gesture intended to foster goodwill and de-escalate potential tensions.

Furthermore, the CJP is promoting a culture of learning and engagement during the protest. Participants are encouraged to bring books, suggesting a desire to use the gathering as an opportunity for intellectual exchange or to share knowledge, even amidst a demonstration. Founder Abhijeet Dipke plans to formally seek permission from the police before leading the protest, underscoring the party's intention to operate within legal frameworks.

These guidelines reflect a deliberate strategy by the CJP to conduct their protest in a manner that is both assertive in its demands and considerate in its execution. By emphasizing peace, respect for law enforcement, and constructive engagement, the party aims to set a positive tone for the demonstration.
