TheCockroach Janta Party(CJP) now has international branches! MultiplePakistan-based versions of the movement have now surfaced online, including the Cockroach Awami Party, Cockroach Awami League, and the Muttahida Cockroach Movement. The bio of the Cockroach Awami Party describes itself as "a political front of the youth, by the youth, for Pakistan," adding, "turning struggle into strength. har halaat mein zinda hain".
Another similar account declares, "Jinhein system ne cockroach samjha, hum unhi awaam ki awaaz hain" (We are the voice of those people whom the system considered cockroaches).
The pages also feature logos strikingly similar to the Indian CJP branding, but redesigned in Pakistan’s green-and-white colour palette. The rebranding appears aimed at positioning these accounts as an alternative to mainstream political parties such as Imran Khan’s PTI, the PML-N, and the PPP.
The CJP emerged earlier this month as a satirical political movement founded by political communications strategist Abhijeet Dipke, who had previously worked with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Dipke, who hails from Maharashtra, however, said that the idea was inspired after reports claimed the Chief Justice used the terms 'parasites' and 'cockroaches' while criticising the youth.
The remark sparked sharp criticism online, particularly among young social media users.
The CJI later clarified that his remarks had been misrepresented and were intended only for those acquiring “fake and bogus degrees”.
Within a week of its formation on May 16, the CJP reportedly crossed one crore followers on Instagram before its account was withheld following the controversy on Thursday.
