Dipke founded the CJP in May in response to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s “cockroaches” remark, which was reported to have been directed at the country’s youth. The CJI later clarified that he was misquoted and that his comments were directed strictly at individuals who enter professions such as the bar using fake or fraudulent degrees, not at the youth.
