An Instagram post by a Rapid Action Force (RAF) officer mocking protesters from the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has triggered a political and social media controversy, three days after security forces blocked the group’s march to Parliament.Assistant Commandant Sonia Sehrawat, who was deployed in central Delhi during Monday’s protest, shared an Instagram story featuring a picture of a dead cockroach with the caption: “CAN’T FIX THEMSELVES AND THEY WANNA FIX THE COUNTRY.” The post quickly went viral, drawing criticism from social media users, before it was deleted.The CJP hit back sharply, alleging that the post reflected an insensitive attitude towards peaceful protesters.”Absolutely shocking. This RAF official actually sees the peaceful protesters as cockroaches and thinks that the brutality of the police was justified because of that. But you see, we are cockroaches. And cockroaches never die!” the party said in a post on X.ABSOLUTELY SHOCKINGThis RAF official actually sees the peaceful protesters as cockroaches and thinks that the brutality of the police was justified because of that.But you see, we are cockroaches.
