Shiv Sena leaders have expressed opposition to recent protests organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Leaders Shaina NC and Manisha Kayande criticized the demonstrations, with Kayande accusing social media influencers of attempting to “spread chaos and instability” and defame the administration.

As tensions persist, Shaina NC has argued that issues regarding the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) should be addressed through parliamentary processes rather than street protests. NC maintained that while the right to protest exists, unpermitted gatherings that threaten public order will face administrative action, characterizing recent government interventions as preventive measures to ensure public safety.
