After a summer interlude, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) are back for what remains unfinished – an all-out struggle with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the repressive state apparatus standing behind them. Modi has taken no chances and enacted the most draconian and authoritarian measures since Indira Gandhi’s Emergency in 1975. Thousands have been arrested, beaten, harassed and detained, including the entire central committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). This brutality was enacted to protect Gyanesh Kumar, a member of India’s Election Commission who has been exposed by the Indian Express as Modi’s stooge, who erased millions of Indians (disproportionately Muslims and other minorities) from the electoral roll in order to rig elections in his party’s favour. Following the exposé, a national protest was called by the CJP for Saturday 10 October at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, the site of their previous victory this summer, when the hated Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, was forced to resign.

Sally Rooney has said she is being forced to withdraw her books from sale in the UK because of her support for the banned organisation Palestine Action. The Irish novelist, whose books include Normal People and Conversations With Friends, said her public support for the direct action group meant she could no longer receive royalties from UK sales. After Palestine Action was banned last year, Rooney said she would use proceeds from her sales to support Palestine Action. Supporting organisations banned under the Terrorism Act is an offence and she subsequently cancelled a trip to the UK to pick up an award, for fear of arrest. In a statement provided to the Guardian, the bestselling author said: “‘In July 2025, the direct-action protest group Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. The following month, I wrote an opinion piece expressing my intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, which is not a proscribed or otherwise prohibited group here in the Republic of Ireland. “As a result, the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence.
