After residents opposed the 2 October 2026 CJP protest at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, Javed Akhtar sarcastically questioned whether they would object as strongly to party rallies. The dispute highlights real noise and access concerns, longstanding court restrictions and the need for fair, proportionate protest rules—not proof of residents’ hypocrisy.

An Instagram post says authorities denied a Jantar Mantar protest, cancelled trains, restricted Metro access, closed shops and blocked internet so residents would blame protesters.

A reporter at the 16 October 2026 Connaught Place march says a counter-gathering chanted for ‘traitors’ to be shot. The allegation remains independently unconfirmed, but the documented counter-protest, police restrictions and electoral-roll dispute expose a central democratic distinction: questioning authorities is not disloyalty, and political disagreement cannot justify threats of violence.
