Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has said he will continue his protest peacefully after he was allegedly slapped during a demonstration in Jaipur.
Calling the incident an “attempt to scare and intimidate,” Dipke said that such actions would not stop his movement. He urged his supporters to remain calm and focused on their demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
The incident happened while Dipke was entering the protest site in Jaipur. According to him, someone suddenly attacked him during the gathering. Videos of the incident quickly spread on social media and sparked strong reactions.
Soon after the incident, Dipke posted on X and said physical attacks show fear and weakness.
He said violence would not change his stand.
Dipke made it clear that his protest would remain peaceful and based on the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr B.R. Ambedkar.
He said his fight is about justice and accountability.
“We will continue to raise our voices peacefully,” Dipke wrote.
He said the main demand of the protest is the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.
According to Dipke, the education minister should step down over issues related to students and the problems they are facing.
He said the movement is being carried out for students who have suffered and for families who have lost their children.
Dipke said he would not respond to violence with violence.
He stressed that no matter what happens, he would not raise his hand against anyone.
His message to supporters was simple — stay peaceful and stay united.
The protest is part of a larger campaign by CJP, which has been holding demonstrations in different cities.
The group has been raising questions about education policies and student welfare.
The Jaipur protest was one of the latest in that series.

Later, Dipke shared a video message on his official social media account.
In the video, he spoke directly to his followers and said they should not lose focus because of the attack.
He described the slap as a planned tactic to distract the movement.
According to him, the aim of the attack was to create fear among protesters.
But he said such attempts would fail.
Dipke repeated that the movement would continue with peace, love and discipline.
He told supporters not to react angrily.
He said even if he was slapped many times, he would still keep speaking about his demand.
“Slap me ten times, but we will keep standing firm,” he said.
His words were meant to calm his followers and remind them of the purpose of the protest.
Dipke said the protest is not about personal anger but about public issues.
He said the focus must remain on justice for students.
The CJP chief also reminded people that great leaders like Gandhi and Ambedkar believed in peaceful struggle.
He said his movement follows the same path.
He added that violence only weakens a cause.
According to Dipke, true strength lies in patience and non-violence.
He asked every protester to respect this principle.
He said no matter how much pressure is created, the movement must remain peaceful.
This message was welcomed by many supporters online.
Several users praised Dipke for staying calm after the incident.
Some called his reaction mature and responsible.
Others said the attack should be investigated properly.
The slap incident has now added more tension to an already heated political protest.
Many opposition voices have criticised the attack and called it unacceptable.
Some leaders said violence should never be used against peaceful protesters.
Supporters of CJP say the incident shows that some people are afraid of the growing movement.
They believe the protest is gaining attention because it speaks for students.
The demand for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation remains at the centre of the protest.
Dipke says the minister must take responsibility for the problems faced by students.
He has linked the protest to student stress, exam issues and reported cases of student suicides.
These concerns have become an important topic in recent months.
The CJP has said it will continue organising protests in different parts of the country.
Dipke has promised that the campaign will remain peaceful.
He has also asked police to ensure the safety of protesters in future events.
So far, there has been no official response from the Union Education Ministry on Dipke’s latest statements.
Authorities are also yet to share details about the person involved in the slap incident.
Political experts say such events can increase public attention on the protest.
Sometimes, incidents like these make movements stronger instead of weaker.
For Dipke, the message remains clear.
He says he will not stay silent.
He says he will not stop protesting.
And most importantly, he says he will continue with peace.
As the movement grows, all eyes will now be on how the government responds and whether the protests lead to bigger political discussions in the coming days.
