Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has taken a dig at the ongoing controversy over the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest near Parliament in Delhi, which reportedly turned violent and sparked political debate across the country. Kashyap, known for speaking openly on social and political issues, expressed his views through a strongly worded note on Instagram and added his voice to the growing backlash around the incident.
Anurag Kashyap reacts to CJP protest controversy with cryptic post, questioning police action
Sharing a post on his Instagram Stories, the filmmaker wrote in Hindi, “To wear the uniform one has to sell the soul, the intimacy, everything. Didn’t know. Is there a police officer in this country who can stand up and say I will not follow this order because it is wrong (I didn’t know that to wear the uniform one has to sell) their soul, compassion and everything else. Is there even a single police officer in this country who can stand up and say, ‘I will not follow this order.’ I will because it is wrong).’
This is not the first time Kashyap has talked about this. Earlier this week, she shared another cryptic message that read, “It’s too much now.” In the caption accompanying that post, he wrote, “Even the deaf are not so deaf, and the blind are also not so blind. The hearts of animals and demons are also not so stone. They are even worse man-eaters than them. I am feeling ashamed to remain silent.” And the hearts of demons are not so hard, they are even worse than them. Remaining silent is beginning to feel shameful).
Let us tell you that Cockroach Janata Party is protesting against the alleged NEET-UG paper leak. In recent incidents, a demonstration near Parliament turned violent, with injuries reported to both police personnel and protesters. While officials say the protesters became aggressive despite repeated warnings, students and protesters have alleged that the police used force without provocation. As the investigation and political exchange continues, Kashyap’s post adds another prominent voice to the ongoing public discourse.
