NEW DELHI / IMPHAL: Ashutosh Ranka, co-convenor of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has expressed solidarity with the people of Manipur, highlighting the sense of abandonment reportedly shared by residents amid the state’s prolonged crisis.
In a statement shared on social media platform X, Ranka said conversations with the party’s North East team often bring attention to the difficulties faced by people in Manipur.
“Every time we have a call with the CJP North East team, it becomes impossible to hear the plight of fellow Manipurians. They have been saying this for a while — ‘Bhaiyya, we all feel abandoned’,” he wrote.
Ranka also acknowledged the difficulty of understanding the experiences of people living through the crisis, stating that he could not imagine what they were going through.
“I am not sure what to say in such a moment, for I can't even imagine what the people of Manipur are going through,” he added.
Reaffirming the party’s support, Ranka said the Cockroach Janta Party stands in solidarity with the people of Manipur and expressed hope for lasting peace in the state.
“Let me just say this — @Cockroachisback stands in complete solidarity with the people of Manipur. We sincerely hope that peace comes to your beautiful state, for you all deserve the same happiness as the rest of India,” he stated.
Manipur has continued to face the effects of prolonged unrest, including displacement and disruptions to normal life. Ranka’s statement has brought renewed attention to the concerns and emotional distress expressed by people affected by the situation.
The statement reflects the CJP leadership’s message of support for Manipur, while expressing hope that peace and normalcy will return to the state.
