CJP Instagram Handle Briefly Removed and Later Restored

The timing on Independence Day raises unanswered questions about Meta’s moderation practices, platform transparency, the party’s ability to communicate with roughly 26.2 million followers.

Overview

  • CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke posted screenshots on X showing the party’s official Instagram handle as “user not found” and said the account was taken down on Saturday morning.
  • CJP and Dipke reported they regained access within an hour and that the Instagram handle is now visible again.
  • Neither Meta nor Instagram has given a public reason for the temporary removal and independent verification of the cause has not been reported.
  • The episode follows earlier social‑media problems in May when Dipke said his personal Instagram was hacked and a CJP backup account was taken down.
  • The brief outage came as CJP prepared to launch its 'School Thik Karo' campaign and highlights how platform actions can affect political mobilization and public reach.
