What FACTLY found
The video does not show Arundhati Roy making the remarks at a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar. It is from her speech at the “Azadi – The Only Way Ahead: Convention on Kashmir” held at the LTG Auditorium in New Delhi on 21 October 2010, years before the Cockroach Janta Party was formed.
