Cockroach Politics Goes Global? Pakistan Gets Its Own Versions Of India’s Viral CJP

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has expanded internationally with new branches in Pakistan, including the Cockroach Awami Party and Muttahida Cockroach Movement.

These groups aim to represent the youth and challenge traditional political parties, branding themselves as voices for those marginalized by the system.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) now has international branches! Multiple Pakistan-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.

‘Cockroach Janta Party’ satire takes over India

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.
