The arrest and jailing of CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das has triggered a political showdown, with opposition leaders accusing the BJP of suppressing dissent. Rahul Gandhi has called the arrests an act of cowardice, while M.K. Stalin, Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Aaditya Thackeray have also voiced their support. Delhi Police has cited alleged violations, including entering Jantar Mantar without permission, defying prohibitory orders and breaching peace-bond conditions.
