On October 15, 2026, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke urged Bollywood to support actor Imran Khan after he received a notice directing him to leave India by October 28, 2026. The notice followed Khan’s participation in an October 10 protest at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Dipke appealed to the Hindi film industry to speak up for the actor, questioning the apparent double standards surrounding political expression. The action followed a complaint by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, who raised concerns about Khan’s participation in the protest despite holding US citizenship and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. Khan’s legal team said it was preparing to challenge the notice before the Bombay High Court.
