Men’s Rights activist and Purush Aayog President Barkha Trehan, who threw ink at the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke at Jantar Mantar yesterday (18th July), said that she did it because he insulted Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Speaking to the media on Sunday (19th July), Trehan said that Dipke and his associates mocked and insulted Lord Ram and Goddess Sita on the stage, which offended her. She added that she is not associated with a political party.
“I am not at all opposed to peaceful protest. I have no affiliation or connection with any political party. The event currently underway, involving those cockroaches and the cockroach party, has nothing to do with the actual NEET issue; it is driven by a political agenda… You cannot even imagine the treatment I received at the hands of Abhijeet’s goons… Abhijeet and his associates were laughing and mocking Lord Shri Ram and Goddess Sita right there on the stage… I threw the ink at Abhijeet simply as a way of protesting; I felt compelled to act… I never tolerate such things, whether the remarks are directed at Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali, or Lord Shri Ram,” Trehan said.

Trehan said that the CJP goons misbehaved with her, beat her and pulled her hair after she splashed ink on Dipke. She thanked the Delhi Police for safely rescuing her. “As for the goons, they beat me severely; they thrashed me and tore at my hair… I am grateful to the Delhi Police for saving me and bringing me to safety. I hadn’t done anything wrong; I hadn’t committed any violence. Yet, they subjected me to such extreme violence, and they are using Sonam Wangchuk. That is exactly what I had gone there to tell Sonam Wangchuk: that they are using him, just like they used Anna Hazare…” she added.
