Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Thursday said his nationwide protest will begin outside Gate No. 6 of Shivaji Park at 4 pm on Gandhi Jayanti, irrespective of permission.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation  (BMC) and Mumbai Police refused clearance, citing Bombay High Court guidelines on silence zones, and asked him to shift to Azad Maidan.
