CJP's Abhijeet Dipke shares SRK song on release of Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka.
After seven days in custody, CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das are finally released -- and Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke appears to have found the perfect Bollywood soundtrack for the moment.
Dipke shared a clip from Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chak De! India on social media, featuring the emotional track "Maula Mere Lele Meri Jaan".
The clip shows Shah Rukh Khan's character overcome with emotion as the Indian flag waves in the background -- an unmistakably patriotic scene that has now been given a CJP twist.
The visuals show SRK's character crying as the Tricolour flutters behind him, while the soulful song plays over the scene.
CJP, the outfit that was born as an online satire, has often used internet-age humour to give insight into a particular incident and the latest post by its founder was exactly what the group is famous for. Dipke has used social media to keep the movement's messaging alive, often relying on pop-culture references, memes and dramatic visuals to amplify his posts.
And this time, the message came straight from Bollywood.
No long statement. No political sermon. Just SRK, the Tricolour and: "Maula mere le le meri jaan."
