After seven days in custody, CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were freed following the October 13 Jantar Mantar protest, a move that surprised many observers.
Founder Abhijeet Dipke seized the moment to post a clip from Shah Rukh Khan’s “Maula Mere Lele Meri Jaan” in the film Chak De! India, showing the actor weeping as the tricolor waves.
The song choice is more than a meme; it signals the party’s patriotic stance and serves as a rallying cry without a formal statement.
Dipke’s post fits the CJP’s tradition of using pop‑culture to critique politics, and it is expected to stir supporters ahead of the party’s next public action.
The release and the clip together underscore the party’s confrontational stance against the government, and officials warn that any further agitation could trigger renewed arrests.
The next step: the party is preparing for its next protest, the date of which has not yet been announced, while observers watch for possible crackdowns.
