    India swats cockroach movement over 'national security'

    Responding to the meteoric rise of the parody Cockroach
    Janta Party (CJP) online, the national spokesperson of
    India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said she hoped
    "they don't just have angst to express, but something more
    serious."

    The CJP was born as satirical criticism of the Chief Justice
    of India (CJI), who likened some of India's youth to "parasites"
    and "cockroaches" while hearing a case in court.

    BJP spokesperson Shazia Ilmi, speaking to DW, said, "Those are
    his words and maybe it has offended a lot of people. One does
    understand the sentiment behind those who feel that they must
    express themselves."

    . . .

    Seems the govt is too proud to tolerate someone
    poking fun.
