The X account of the satirical digital platform Cockroach Janata Party was withheld in India on Thursday, days after it gained widespread attention on social media.
Soon after the account was blocked, founder Abhijeet Dipke launched a new X handle titled “Cockroach is Back” with the tagline “Cockroaches Don’t Die”.
Reacting to the development, Dipke said the move was “expected” and claimed there had been attempts to hack the original account a day earlier.
Calling the action a “self-goal by the government”, he confirmed that the new account had already been created on X.
