  Nice try. None of the cases filed are for forming a political party or participating in democratic exercises. They range from criminal cases to defamation. The "newly formed" political party has been in power in Delhi since 2015 and has won the last two state elections. You are proving my point.

    Of course they will not directly file a charge against you for forming a political party. But they will find other ways. Actually they did filed cases against students for protesting against government. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/apr/21/delhi-police-books-jamia-students-under-uapa-in-case-related-to-communal-violence-over-caa-2133389.html https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/apr/21/de...
