Rapper Santy Sharma has been gaining attention after weighing in on the viral satirical Cockroach Janta party on Sunday.
The music artist made a lengthy post on his thoughts about the new viral phenomenon.
Sharma took to Instagram to share a statement criticising the CJP and urged people to carefully consider their participation in the satirical party.
In his statement, he said that the “‘Cockroach Janta Party’ feels more like internet drama than a serious movement.”
He said that many today follow trends without researching the background of individuals leading such campaigns. “The founder of this so-called CJP has reportedly been associated with AAP and has shared multiple posts in the past that appeared critical of India itself,” he claimed.
He said that if anyone nationalists, they should focus on “solving real issues of India — development, employment, education, innovation, and national unity — instead of emotionally provoking Gen Z into street protests inspired by situations seen in countries like Nepal or Bangladesh.”
He also reiterated claims made by a BJP leader who said that a large number of the CJP’s followers were from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
“It is also concerning that a large portion of the social media support behind such movements reportedly comes from accounts linked to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other anti-India narratives. Indians should stay aware of digital manipulation and propaganda tactics used online.”
He concluded by requesting authorities to monitor such activities carefully and take necessary steps to maintain peace, stability, and national interest.”
Santy Sharma is an Indian rapper, singer and internet personality known for his music. He also had outspoken views on trending social and digital issues.
