CJP leaders were handed a five‑day imprisonment, and party chief Dipak alleged that the central government is imposing an unofficial emergency.
The Central Justice Party (CJP) saw several of its senior members taken into custody and sentenced to a five‑day term of imprisonment, according to reports published by The Assam Tribune. The detention was carried out under existing legal provisions, and the leaders were placed in a local jail pending further judicial review.
Party chief Dipak, speaking shortly after the sentencing, claimed that the move reflects an "unofficial emergency" being imposed by the central government. He argued that the authorities are using legal mechanisms to curb dissent and suppress the party's activities across the country.
Legal experts have noted that while the jail term is short, the political ramifications could be significant, especially if the party decides to mobilise protests. The government, however, has not commented on Dipak's allegations, maintaining that the action follows due process of law.
The incident adds to a growing list of confrontations between opposition groups and the central administration, raising questions about the balance between security measures and democratic freedoms in India.
